Benefits of a PsyD versus PhD?

Hello! I am currently a 3rd year Developmental Psychology major (human developmental sciences minor) at a university. I am currently struggling to decide between pursuing a PsyD or a PhD mostly based on the career prospects post grad. I want to be a clinical psychologist/therapist and I hope to work with children and teens.
Here are my main questions:
Why did you guys choose a PsyD over a PhD?
What are your career goals and why was the program you chose the best choice?
Is a PsyD less intensive overall than a PhD?
Thanks so much!
