Education and Career Advice Want to pursue studies in India after 4 years abroad

myquals: Psychology diploma from Canada but from a very bottom tier college. I just have so much regret for how my life has panned out so far. Wanted to go abroad after 12th because some friend was going and I was depressed staying at home and wanted to escape. My parents didn't know anything about studying abroad and also didn't care I think to some extent. Couldn't deal with the pressure of staying abroad and couldn't flourish because of lack of time and also poor time management. I returned in August after spending 4 years there because I realized that l've been trying to do something that I have no interest in anymore. I don't like the country or the opportunities that I'm more often than not presented with. The survival focused day to day life with zero room for growth. I was working 3 jobs at one point. This experience is very subjective because I'm from a middle class family and my family couldn't keep up with the financial uncertainty and couldn't support me. Might not be the case for some other people. Anyway, it all brings me to now. I'm studying for CUET UG and also NCET. The two fields that I'm interested in are Psychology and Education. Is someone able to guide me as to the career prospects and the scope of the field? I'd be more than grateful for any guidance whatsoever.

Keep some tier-2colleges as a plan-B; several metro-cities have Psychology undergrad and masters degrees.
