Although every branch of Psychology offers some sort of good career but still, people are showing more orientation towards Clinical Psychology. That is really a very huge subject and it turns your career onto the path of growth. I would prefer Clinical Psychology because of its utility in this modern stressful era. Clinical psychology takes general psychology a step further. While psychologists study the fundamentals of mental behaviors and processes, clinical psychologists apply these principles in real-world situations. They translate basic concepts into practical approaches that are used to diagnose and treat mental illnesses or disorders in patients. With this scale, now you can understand that how much this branch of Psychology is fruitful from your career growth prospects point of view. In India, clinical psychologist works in hospital, child clinics, physiotherapy center, and even major offices (for stress management). The applicability of this branch is almost everywhere. Hence there is nothing to worry if you want to pursue this specialization. Hope this helps.
Best of luck.

Psychiatrists are doctors who graduate from medical school, they have a year of medical internship, and have 3 years of residency in the assessment and treatment of mental health disorders.
Psychologists have a doctoral degree in an area of psychology, the study of the mind and human behavior. They are not medical doctors. A psychologist can have a PhD in philosophy or a PsyD in clinical or counseling psychology. They do 1-2 years of internship. Unlike psychiatrists, psychologists are also trained in giving psychological tests such as IQ tests or personality tests. Psychiatrists can prescribe medication but psychologist can't.
Both the fields may look alike but are very different from each other and you should pursue a course according to your area of interest.
