I'm trying to decide between psychology and engineering. I have no real interest in engineering but I'm good at math, where psychology I can read about all day long. I do enjoy some parts of math, like excelling in it.
I have no interest in being a therapist or work clinically with patients, so I'd have to get a PHD or PsyD which would take quite some time (don't even have an associates yet). Engineering also gives me the ability to live pretty much anywhere and start making good money in 4 years which is really appealing, it's just that my heart isn't in it.
My real dream is to be a book editor or comic book author, but I feel I could break into that with any degree and having money to hire an illustrator would be amazing.
What are your thoughts, internet strangers?

Do what you want senpai, such a pragmatistic approach will just ruin your life. Don't let STEM people on the internet bring down your ambitions. In the end, life is all about taking risks and following your heart.

what would you do with that PHD or PsyD?

Probably forensic psychology. I'd rather do research psychology but I hate the idea of testing on animals! Being a college professor doesn't sound too bad either

Thank you dude! That's some wisdom I needed to hear right now. I have a tendency to be too logical and not follow my heart

if you're comfortable with the earning potential it sounds fine to me, im not sure how hard/easy those fields are to break into if it was art id recommend you seriously reconsider the sciences just because its really hard to make it iin an art industry.
but if you are confident of where psychology can bring you then i say go for it.
