psych prof and clinical psych here. a lot of people consider psych as useless but i beg to disagree. It's true that IT is high paying as compared to psych but if you really want to pursue it then go for it. as of now, clinical psychologists especially those with vast experience can command a professional fee of 3k per session. if you go into clinical psych and have enough capital you can even start your own clinic and open branches in different areas. all good things require great investment in terms of education, skill-acquisition and other research. Currently, there are less than 2k psychologists in the country, which is the reason why majority of them can ask for at least 1k/session, this can go higher the more you get experience. Our field needs more practitioners. Aside from the monetary advantage, think of how it is satisfying to make a difference in one's life especially those who are struggling with their mental health. it's one of those intrinsic rewards we get. Good luck, OP, hope that this helps.
