Realistic Post Grad

So basically im stuck between 3 careers: Primary teaching, educational psychologist and a speech and language therapist.

So i applied for Primary Education and Psychology with Education which i got all my offers for and one of them at a top 10 uni. And so idk like realistically I want to be realistic with my post grad future and the future job prospects out for me there for example primary teachers are in a shortage but ive heard the career is no longer sustainable and very burn-out etc. And ive kust heard nightmares about it. Educational psychologist is very competitive and but it interests me but takes it longer to get there and also I hope if I do go the UNI I go to which is in top 10 will have connections and help with careers over there. Or there is speech and language therapy iv cone across recently snd it seems straight forward as its just a degree in health care and build ur way up from there and I like how irs flexible working between children and adults and either in NHS or private practices. However biology is not my strongest point and I havent personally done science in years I do it in psycholofy as part of biopsych but im not a big fan of that topic tbh but it is interesting the career jusr seems interesting and I can apply to that through clearing. Does anyone have any advice for me :frown:

((* feeling very conflicted and unsure about thr future .

I'm in similar situation as you right now. I've just graduated from my psychology degree and I'm struggling to find jobs like I honestly do not know what NHS jobs would wanna hire me with a psychology degree and no clinical experience. I'm also looking into primary school teaching aswell because I've heard people say that there are tons of opportunities and it's a sustainable career that many people can do and I do have a slight interest in speech and language therapy since there are lots of job opportunities available after you graduate There are tons of vacancies available for that I'm just so confused I don't know what kind of experience u would need

Img the exact same dilemma im in! Please let me know once you end up doing or if you figured it out. Do you regret doing a psychology degree?
