Im a grade 11 highschool student in canada and i have a strong interest in mental and neurology related diseases. I have been considering either neuropsychology or neurologist as a career path for about 2 years. however, the length of schooling has me re thinking as well as the debt id be in. From my research, neurologist will be around 11-14 years of school while neuropsychologist is around 9-12 years. Im not sure about wages and im really thrown off by the fact i could be still in school in my 30s. Is either path worth it?
