What is a better thing to study?

I can't decide between psychology and psychiatry. Can someone tell me a few pros and cons of each one?

    Psychiatry is not an undergraduate degree, it is only something that doctors specialize in during residency after receiving their MD.

    As far as psychology, its a completely useless bachelors degree unless you fully intend on getting a masters or Ph.D.

    A psychiatrist makes WAY more money than a psychologist, but both require doctorate degrees. Psychiatrists need an MD, clinical psychologists need a Ph.D or Psy.D
