I can’t decide! 😭

Hello, pls help.. !! I’m so lost 😞

I’m 25(f) been in horrible decision paralysis for years. Dropped of grad school twice bcz I was lost and now starting from scratch.

Should I get a masters in mental health counseling, or alternatively an insurance license?

All I care about is having a family sooner than later and the stress is starting to set in.

Counseling-

Pros: -flexible schedule in private practice -interesting and meaningful -good for family life/parenting

Cons: -expensive and time consuming to start -5 + years before being licensed -fee for service pay structure -burnout

Insurance-

Pros: -earning potential is higher -lower barrier to entry

Cons: -not sure what to expect in this industry -might be high stress -risk of AI automation? -likely less flexible, full time schedule

Which is a smarter choice? How can I prepare for a family when I have no career
