How did you decide in pursuing as a psychologist or LCSW despite the lack of career options at the start or struggles?

Hello I am a junior in high school currently in a program where I am getting my associate arts degree (A.A) when I graduate. I’ve been interested in psychology. As I been doing research since the end of sophomore year. I’m currently undecided whether pursuing as a psychologist or a LCSW as I heard it is far less limiting in the field than a psychologist. As it’s more accessible for patients to go to a LCSW and better to be in a private practice. But I’m not sure because I love psychology. However I would want to be able to have a career that I am passionate about and is a stable job (money wise). I plan to do more school after a bachelors to be able to be a psychologist. I’m just worried that I won’t be able to find a job after bachelors to help sustain myself while being in grad school,etc. It’s just lots of worries about that and for paying it all back after doing more school. I need advice or help if anyone is currently a psychologist or in the career field of psychology/lcsw. Or if you were in my position before!!
