I need help in choosing a major.?

I am 23 years old. i have taken classes in art, psychology and many others. I have thought about a career in photography, teaching school counseling, art therapy, speech therapist, etc. This list could go on and on. my point is, i want to help people but, i still want to make a decent amount of money. i know you can't get rich in a service career. Also, i would like to have creative freedom. i currently work in an elementary school as a clerk and I see how everyone is bound to these'rules' and they can never accomplish what they set out to do. Can anyone help? I need suggestions on what career best fits these descriptions. Am I living in a dream world to think its possible to have a decent salary, creative freedom and the ability to make a contribution to society?

creative freedom is a relative terminology , in a way nothing is new or creative - its basically a process called lateral thinking . We are aware of our surrounding / environment / work - we laterally think and innovate upon the already existing process / art / music / literature - for example there could be lot of movies / literature inspired by some great author who in term may have been enspired by some folkrole/ ancient tradition - etc. So in a way there is no creativity in anything its only lateral thinking - a Clerk can also have lateral thinking - in terms of how efficient he can over other clerk - how he can work smartly so on its all required some creativity and innovation .

Regarding your profession if you really have interest / i mean really deep interest in some field choose that - cause you will enjoy that work and can very easily do lateral thinking which in term will improve quality of your work - and your creativity .

A counselor / speech therapist / photographer all could be creative in their area - so can be a police man , an army officer , a judge or a clerk. Lot of people choose the profession they dont enjoy - and they never enjoy it for whole of their life - resulting in ordinary performance , no growth , and of course less of income .

so choose something which you enjoy .
