SDN induced anxiety attack.
You are asking the wrong questions. If you are going to go into this field, you need to know about the internship crisis, post-doc difficulties, and decreased job market and salary. Telling you everything is going to be okay isn't going to do you any favors. You need to ask is this worth the investment (time, opportunity cost, emotional capital) for you, compared to the other opportunities out there.
A lot of this is to be expected given our strange economic times. Some of the complaining is normal across fields. There are many posts in the medicine forums from MD students who wished they would have pursued dental school instead. The pharmacy forums have students who wished they would have pursued MD degrees, etc.
You CAN do well in psychology and many people do, however, the people that do well tend to specialize and have a specific plan (forensics, neuropsychology, VA, and military offer some good opportunities) or are willing to travel, have good business skills, etc. Basically, there are and will continue to be good opportunities in psychology, but they require more initiative than before (starting a niche private practice vs. landing a sweet salaried job after graduation).
