What is an effective way to decide which path you want to take careerwise?
I have two different career paths I'm considering taking and I'm not sure how to decide which I want to take. I'm struggling to choose between psychology or accounting/finance. The thing is that I have more experience than most my age, in Accounting (I'm currently taking Accounting 2 as a Junior in Highschool), but very little experience in Psychology. I can see myself being some type of therapist though, which is why Psychology has suddenly become something I'm considering. I like to be there for people and help them with any problems they may be going through. Even if it's just being the person they vent to or a shoulder to cry on. On the other hand, I also enjoy math, numbers, figuring out problems, etc. which is why I like accounting. Any advice?
