I really really want to be a psychologist. all my friends and some of my families support my decision to be a psychologist. but my father told me that Indonesia is not ready for them (i live in indonesia). it would be much better if i take medical major to be a psychiatrist because it has a better prospect than psychologist.

Why don't you do a combined degree? I know someone doing a combined degree psychology/law coz she doesn't want to have to choose between the two. You can always choose to work in a one of the two fields once you have graduated. There are not many universities that offer comb degrees but such degrees are very useful. E.g Combined Psychology /Law is offered at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia and at University of Kent in UK..Check it out...

Well we know that in Indonesia psychologist are very less (I'm also from Indonesia). But it doesn't mean that it provides you a good prospect for work. If you're orientation is to be a successful or rich person I don't think it will be easy, unless you'll become a very well known psychologist and work overseas :P but for Indonesia I think better to take medical or business then use your psychology skill to be success in your job, I'm sure that your psychology knowledge will help you a lot to become successful. But you can still give it a try, sometimes luck is unpredictable :D Cheers
