Hello,
Here’s a comparison to help you decide:
Clinical Psychology :
- Takes 5–8 years (BA/BSc + MA/MSc + MPhil/PhD) to become a licensed psychologist.
- Requires supervised training and internships.
- Financial returns are slow but stable in the long run.
- High emotional satisfaction if you enjoy helping people.
- Career options: therapist, counselor, researcher, professor.
MBA :
- Takes 2 years (after any bachelor's degree).
- Immediate job opportunities in corporate sectors.
- Higher salary potential early in your career.
- Competitive but broad career options (finance, marketing, HR).
- Less emotional satisfaction if you prefer psychology.
Choose based on passion (psychology) vs. financial stability (MBA).
Hope you find it useful !
