I'm a BS Psychology fresh graduate from a Big 4 university. I am currently studying for the upcoming BLEPP to become a registered psychometrician, and I am considering taking up a master's degree in psychology or counseling abroad. For context: I chose psychology as a pre-med or pre-law undergrad degree—I was undecided at the time—but I have come to realize that I would much rather work as soon as possible than spend 4+ years in med school or law school, then spend more years establishing myself in either career. However, I am aware that a psychology degree does not lead to high-paying jobs. While I was a consistent Dean's Lister from 2nd year to 4th year, I fell short of any Latin honors because of my first-year grades, due to my poor mental state at the time (plus COVID). I have internship experience in Talent Acquisition (HR) at a well-known Filipino company, along with several organizational experiences, but I'm afraid that won't be enough to secure a high-paying job (which is ultimately the main goal here), hence my interest in pursuing a master's.

Aside from strengthening my background with a master's degree to secure a high-paying job, I would also like to work in a multinational company, and perhaps, somewhere down the road, live and work abroad permanently—though that's not a top priority right now. Any advice on my career path in general, and on the advantages of pursuing a master's abroad?

I was diagnosed with eczema 5 years ago. At first it started on my neck then it transferred to my inner elbow which would flare up several times a year due to temperature changes, particularly extreme heat. Last may I started experiencing eczema on my lips which transferred to my eyes -> cheeks -> rest of my face. Thankfully most of my eczema has now settled, aside from the ones on my lips which flares up whenever I put something on my lips that isn't vaseline. I've since thrown all my tinted lip balms and lip liners that I suspected may have triggered my severe eczema flare up back in may, but even now with new products, I'm experiencing random flare ups. It's mostly on the outline of my lips and I can't tell if it's caused by my lip products or if it's something else. Any thoughts on what may have caused it or any suggested remedies for this?
