Congratulations!
The importance of education level highly depends on the part of the world where you live. In some place it is a requirement to earn a proper living, somewhere else it could be just a burden and a waste of time. I myself have a PhD. I am sure, I don't need it for my work but maybe it is the reason I got the position at first place. From the knowledge I have now, I would rather have gone to work earlier, gain experience that way and earn more money. But it is, what it is, it would be just a waste of time thinking about what if... It was the best decision I came to at the moment, so no regrets. I enjoyed the time, learned different stuff, made friend. So taking the positives and using them in the future is the order of the day :)
My advice that I want to give you is, don't take advices from others about what you should do. Listen to others, but mainly listen to yourself and always make the decisions about your life yourself. It makes you responsible for your actions but gives you the power to coordinate your future. There will always be unpleasant moments in your life, but it is not about how many time you fall, but how long you stay down and how many times you wake up.
You can completely ignore my message or you can take something from it, that works for you. Be happy and all the best into the future!

Ah, one of my favorite things are reading the responses, everyone's been so kind, I couldn't take that for granted (though I can't respond to them all either). I like to believe there's always something to be learned from everyone so if this thread can help educate someone to help them out somewhere along the line, then that's just the cherry on top ^-^
Thank you for your kind words and wisdom.

Congratulations on the degree! Psychology is a field that is much needed, understaffed, and unfortunately underpaid in some areas, but if it is your passion, we need people like you! Great job fighting through the struggles of life, and continue to be there for your sister.

Congratulations. The most important thing you can learn in college is to achieve a goal. Once you know you have this ability, then you can setup your mind to reach more goals, continue to learn, get out of your comfort zone, and grow. The rest, you make it up along the way, through friendships, hardships, and all kinds of ships.
Psychology and computer science, together, can lead to interesting activities. Try and keep a passion for both. And computer games, obviously. ;)

The results are in and I'm happy to announce that I've graduated college!!!
It's not much but I've completed my degree, it's an Associates in Psychology that transfers so I can kinda speed run a Bachelors one day if I wanted it.
My reasoning: I did it for myself and the people around me. 💖
(Emotional tangent below, feel free to skip)
I haven't had the best life, I haven't had the worst life, but in the short period I've been on Earth, it's not been the happiest.
I'd struggled with my emotions and reactions to situations for a long time and my great grandmother put aside money for me to go to college and in the past few years, I thought it best to teach myself better when I couldn't afford therapy. I started with a major in Computer Science because I always heard how cool it would be for a woman to go into coding and my robotics teacher in high school encouraged me in it because I picked it up easily. Half way through, my father passed when I was 20 years old and that did a rough number on me. The pandemic and lock down happened the week before my 21st birthday and I didn't really have anyone to go to. Since I lived alone at the time and couldn't afford professional help, I decided to learn enough to help myself. I wouldn't go as far to say it's helped me become the rock of my friend group but it's helped me stand up for my friends more and support them better to help themselves as someone who was too quiet and afraid of the unknown myself to even begin helping others before.
I think in the end, what I wanted most was to one day be able to help educate and be better support for someone one day, the type of person I felt I really needed beside me when I was fresh out of high school, afraid of people, had no guidance at home, and no idea of where to even start asking for help.
I'd like to think I will be that for my younger half sister. Granted she has the benefit of having more support from her family than I could ever could imagine but I'm happy to say that she'd have me too.
Even if I can't be as helpful, she'll at least have me as the "At least I can't do worse than my sister" 😂
