23M, I’m an engineer but I hate my job and am thinking of either becoming a Teacher, Therapist or Psychologist, but I’m getting confused on which degree allows for what and there’s so much conflicting information, I mainly care about Ontario, Canada and Michigan, USA

I want to know if u get a masters in psychology, does that allow u to be a therapist? Or u have to basically pursue the doctorate to get a therapy job? Does this apply for Canada and USA?

I ask because Canada doesn’t seem to have many Masters in Counseling programs like America, they usually have a masters in Counseling Psychology, can they become therapists with that?

I know there’s also a limited license Psychologist for Michigan and they have a masters, and then the Ontario equivalent would be a Psychological Associate, but is that the only thing a masters in psychology lets u do in these specific places?

I’m lost tbh, any help is appreciated!

Hello, I was considering to change careers to a teacher and go for the J/I division! But I was confused about something

If u get the grades 4-10 division, can u be a homeroom teacher or can u only teach them your speciality for grades 7-8? Or is it just grades 4-6? Does the same apply if u do the grades 7-12 division?

I am mainly talking about for Ontario and somewhat Quebec

23M. Hello, I graduated with a bachelors dual degree in engineering in Michigan, I got a job right after my internship but to be honest, it’s very detestable and I hate it, the money, environment and people are great but I don’t like the material of my work of just working on machines and tech all day. I find it boring and meaningless

I want to change careers to something more creative or social. I love self-expression and doing a job that directly helps other people and working with them. Therefore, the two biggest options I were considering were Teacher or Psychologist

Both of these sound great and purposeful to me, I’m just having trouble deciding what to go for, the other problem is I wanted to do the Jet Program as well, and am unsure as to whether I should wait before applying to universities to see if I can get into that? Or do Jet afterwards

I am a dual citizen too, so for teacher I only would apply in Canada because I heard they usually have better work environments and psychologist I could do either or tbh

Teacher would take about 2 years whereas, psychologist would be more expensive and take about 8+ years or something. I’ve done research on both professions and universities in Canada for them and it’s hard for me to decide tbh

Time and money isn’t my issue, I ultimately want to do something that I find purposeful, but combined with the Jet program and indecision on which of the two I want, it’s getting hard to figure out a game plan

Basically, if I had to sum it up more, I either wanna go back uni or do the Jet program first? And idk if I wanna do Teacher or Psychologist

Any help is appreciated, sorry for the long essay btw lol, thx!
