confused

hi, i’m wondering if anyone has any advice. i’m a first year student, i’m applying to ucas again as i want to move back home and study (i’m currently studying in a different country). i can manage living away but i live a better happier busier life at home so i know it’s right to move back. however now i’m starting to re think everything. i like the content of my degree (psychology) but i’m now starting to think i should change course entirely because recently
i’ve been reading about the career opportunity within this and i know it’s limited unless a masters is completed and that requires years of experience too.
i’m beginning to feel lost and confused and i’m beating myself up about this now. i feel alone too and that i should be enjoying uni more but i’m not despite efforts to make it better.
does anyone have any advice? should i change course?

There are a lot of careers which don't require a specific degree, but just want something. One like that may be possible for a while, either until you get your masters or whilst studying etc.
