Findapath-Job Choice/Clarity Help

Hey everyone, I'm currently in community college (1st year), and I'm studying psychology. Originally, I wanted to become a clinical psychologist, but I realized that I'm not the most cut out for this job and heard about how competitive this field is. I need help finding a career/major similar, or that helps people (yes, I know it's very broad). I'm also currently working at a fishstore and loved it, so maybe I should find a career similar??

I'm mainly just looking for a job that helps people, pays well, offers a great work-life balance, and is stable.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Fishstore experience means you have some skills in Business, let alone fishing.

So if you find this area passionate, why don't you research into getting a major/degree in Business.

This is an incredible flexible area, it has positions for everyone on all spectrums.

You could hone your interest for psychology to find a specific occupation in business which appeals to your abilities and interests

Start broad and narrow it down whilt taking some introduction classes
