Realistically, which degree would be best suited to careers such as Support Teacher, Community Learning, Art Therapist, Mental Health or Learning Difficulties (Adults or Children) Support Worker

Currently I am thinking of the following, I want to know which of these would be most likely to be an asset to me in getting myself into any of the above fields. I am aware that some of these require additional education after my first degree such as a specialised Art Therapist course or possibly a teaching course for becoming a support teacher? I'm not sure.

- Social Work (I don't do well in high-stress real life situations so the actual role Social Worker would not be a good fit, but if this could lead into any of the above careers mentioned that would be perfect since it covers a wide range of subjects related to a lot of what I am hoping to get into)

- Psychology (I do, however, do well in high-stress academic situations so I would be able to handle a degree in some form of psychology, and would be able to start at year 2 from previous learning. However, I have heard that Psychology is not useful in the real world unless you do further studies afterwards, so i'm not sure.)

- Education (Primary level probably, However I don't want to be a teacher, I am interested in becoming a support teacher because I am interested in supporting children with learning difficulties or physical disabilities. I currently work with children part time who have learning difficulties, and it's a rewarding and enjoyable job)

- Community Learning and Development (No clue how useful this would be since it's not a widely recognised degree, and I would rather choose an alternative path that could also lead into this kind of work, as I have been on the learners side of CLD and it helped me get my life to the point it is now, I want to be able to do that for other people)

- Counselling (As I have said of other degrees, I don't want to do the specific counsellor or therapist role, I have been and still am the "therapist" friend and it is mentally draining and I know for a fact I would not handle that at all as a full time job, but again if this could lead me into any of the careers in the title I will consider it)

- Childhood practice (This would allow me to continue in my current work which I do enjoy, but would it help towards any of the other jobs I could see myself doing?)

- Any other degree you think would be good for what I'm aiming for, I'm super confused about what would be a good path, I feel like if I complete a degree I would need to be sure its an asset rather than a waste of time, so any advice would be helpful.
