    Given what you've said, being a psychologist would be a bit stifling for you. It's very monotonous and doesn't involve much creativity, which you seem to have a lot of. Try to work with your strengths, do something that you love, that motivates you. Do an online career quiz, to get an idea. Don't take their word as law, as frequently they are way off target. One good one is http://www.livecareer.com/ You have to sign up, but they give you a good idea of where your strengths lie.

    Before you commit to a "career", try a few "jobs" first. That way, you haven't gotten yourself into something you can't stand. It gives you a chance to get to know the industry before diving in.
