Should I go for a long career/degree in Psychology even though I am 28?
OK. I'm like a Freelance Artist and writer by profession, needless to say this **** ain't working out. At one point things were going good, I was near being published... my art started to get recognition and in a flash it all came to nothing. It was entirely out of my control, but to make a long story short people all of a sudden changed their minds and went in other directions. This really got to me and ever since I can't even do art anymore.
So it got me thinking, all this time I wasted, I'm 28 years old now and all the work I did, I have pretty much nothing to show for it. So now I'm like, okay maybe I should just go to college/university even though I stubbornly don't want too. I have been thinking, what can I do? What careers would be the best options. To be honest, my writings could be said to be "esoteric psychology". I am very much so a man of the thinking of Carl Jung and G.I. Gurdjieff/P.D. Ouspensky, but individual to myself. Now with such interest, one would think, AHH psychology is where you should major. To be honest I would really do this, out of the things I see, my attention moves to psychology. The problem is for this type of field, it is only worthwhile if you are willing to continue on beyond the associate degree ... heck it may really only pay off if you go all the way up to get your doctorate. I have been told by different people that I shouldn't care about the time it will take, with my type of mind and vision, they could see me as a professor. But I am 28 years old ...
I really do have an aim that goes beyond just making money, I just wish I had discovered these things when I was 18/17. But what can you do, took 10 years of learning and growing to see what I need to do.
Thoughts on this confused state I am in?
