Hello. I'm in a pickle.
I have been studying law for two years and I do not like it. It feels like it's slowly munching away at my soul, one bite at a time. On the other hand, I think I would like being a lawyer and doing something meaningful like helping families and underdogs and whatnot.
However... I have always been interested in psychology as a subject (naturally), and I know for a fact that I would love to study it. But - and here's the tricky part - I believe I wouldn't like to work as a psychologist. Maybe a researcher or something, because typical for an INFJ, I want to change the system!
So, summa summarum: I hate law, would perhaps like to work as a lawyer; love psychology, don't want to work as a psychologist. Is there a career in psychology where I would get to not only help people but do it on a "higher" level? What should I do? Can someone please advice me on how to reason regarding my situation? My dream job would be to make a living on writing, but that's a long shot. Thank you all, love this community. <3
