About to graduate but conflicted on what I want to do for a career
Post Body

I am about to graduate with my psychology degree in may and it was recently brought up to me that I may be a good candidate to be a teacher. I wanted to be a marriage and family therapist and I still do but I really love children and I would love to be such a positive influence in their lives as some of my teachers have been for me growing up. I would want to teach elementary school or middle school. I wanted to be a family therapist specifically so that children can have open lines of communication in the house, so the focus is to be to help children too. I wanted to be a teacher when I was a child and I do feel excited about this idea. However I feel some apprehension because I always saw myself as a marriage and family therapist since I started college. I also feel nervous about teaching math since I have never been good at that and I'm not sure if they show you how to do it or make your refresh before you start. I am excited but also nervous and I was wondering if you think having a psych degree would benefit me as a teacher and if I am good enough to be one. 

Any advice? Thank you.

Tdlr: not sure if I should go for a teaching credential or stick with my plan of being an MFT
