Im an incoming college freshmen majoring in Psych BA. I find the field of study really interesting to learn, but I'm wondering if majoring in this is a bad idea because I quite literally have no solid idea or plan on what career path I want

I took AP psych last year in highschool. Of course we covered the surface level basics of almost everything in the field of psychology, and of course I ended up finding everything fascinating, so I can't really pinpoint to one specialized area that I'd be interested in

I know people tend to become clinical psychologists, but I feel like I'd get burnt in the emotional demands of talk therapy, so that's something I'm generally trying to avoid doing as a career. (ironically, I am taking an intro to clinical psych class in college though just to see if my mind might change about this.)

So basically... TL;DR I don't have any solid career plan being in this major. What other careers are there related to psychology than being a therapist? And whats the best way would I go about exploring or learning about these variety of careers? Googling? Shadowing? Counseling?

I have two fairly long flights back to back in two days. I’m getting extremely anxious again and I keep feeling like I’m seeing signs not to fly, especially online.

I never specifically searched up anything but for whatever reason the internet keeps showing me unfortunate freak accidents (ex: recent Oliver Tree aviation incident) or shows/media about aviation crashes or the general topic of death . it’s honestly freaking me out and I don’t know what to think of it…

Pretty much in the next few days and the month of June, I'm going to be on several international flights that are mostly around 5-8 hours long. I've been pretty anxious about it overall as the days approach. Anyone have advice, tips/tricks, or reminders of sorts that help with coping with this fear of flying?

I'm terrified of the chances of something going wrong with the amount of flights I have to sit on for awhile, namely the plane crashing or dying in a plane crash. Please help!!! Honestly losing sleep over these thoughts

Just out of curiosity, like the title asks. I'm just someone interested in this as a possible career, and I'd imagine you are exposed to a lot of different kinds of pathogens and viruses which I'm sorta concerned about for my own health.

For instance, I’ve noticed a handful of younger kids saying they were meant for the 80s or 90s

What the title says.

I'm graduating HS soon and I'm going into college to major in Biology. I thought I wanted to be a medical doctor, but I'm starting to doubt if it's right for me. Generally speaking I...

1. am good at (basic) math & interested in social study subjects (I've taken AP psych & AP gov, both I enjoyed learning about a lot) . However, all subjects otherwise r fine
2. am introverted. I could likely work with the same group of coworkers and talk to acquaintances one-on-one regularly, but I think I'd be drained having to handle frequent interaction with strangers
3. Like routine & creativity. not necessarily 24/7 same repetitiveness but more like a school environment where there's a typical schedule & you're given the expected work to complete. However, you'd still have to use critical thinking and perhaps look around a bit to answer the questions/problems
4. would like to help people in some way

I also live in Hawaii, so it's a VHCOL area n job market sucks (tho I suppose its like that anywhere). I just want a career that pays enough to support comfortable living (relatively stable field, w/ around 80-85k+ avg salary and ideal WLB?)

This post isn't to find all the answers for the perfect career, but it's mainly just a throw-out-there kind of thing to see if there's any careers that I might've not already heard about from friends and family I've talked to about careers here. willing to change majors too, since biology was only really something i chose for the doctor route

Tl;DR: All the bolded stuff & very last paragraph.
