Trying to figure things out!

So ive been thinking the past couple days since I started my new class..Do I really want to be a teacher? Is this really what I want? I dont know..I dont know what I want to do. Ive been thinking about going into physcology..I love helping people and hearing about what goes on in other peoples lives. Ive wanted to do school counseling for highschool or middle school. I'm really confused. Im also interested in Law Enforcement. Not going out on the streets but working in the jail, working with kids who are in trouble and need help finding a way to staying sober, or being kept out of trouble. I want to be a teacher to help kids, and give them what I never got in school, but is that the only reason why? Is my heart really in it? Im not sure =/. I was thinking about taking a leave of absence again and getting a job so Im not wasting more money trying to figure this out. Maybe I should put college on hold for now and just work and try to figure things out. How is anyone going to know what they want until they try? But can you try 4 different things? Ive been researching alot of things about good and bads about being a teacher.

REASONS I WANT TO BE A TEACHER:
1. I want to be able to give kids what I never had
2. I love kids.
3. I want to bring things to schools that I had and enjoyed when I was in elementary.

REASONS I DONT WANT TO BE A TEACHER:
1. The pay isnt good
2. Teachers pay for alot out of pocket
3. You bring your job home
4. Theres not enough time, teachers are always saying
5. I dont know yet if my heart is in it.

So I have more reasons why I dont want to be a teacher..Any advice on what I should do from anyone? Email me if u do! samantha_evans1020@yahoo.com I need to figure this out soon because if im going on a leave I need to do it ASAP!
