First of all psychology is the most populate major on campus anywhere. Why? Because its a very low effort degree program. Translation - Plenty of party time!
Rule of Thumb: I always told my kids, if it’s hard to do intellectually, chances are good its worth doing.
They didn’t like this one! - At your age & experience level “the crowd” is always wrong! At my age & experience level “the crowd” is 70% to 80% wrong!
Rule of Thumb - “The Crowd is Wrong!”
Make the following statement then offer.
I will NOT pay for a lone BS in psychology period!
I will pay for psychology as a second major or minor.
The first degree MUST BE!
STEM - Science (excluding biology, psychology, neuroscience),
TE - Technology & engineering degrees includes computer science,
M - Math,
Business - with the possible exception of economics.
I put my foot down on this for my kids (Made my wife & her mother furious at me the first time I did it!) My kids all later ended up with science & engineering degrees at the BS level with an odd collection of 2nd major & minor “hobby” liberal arts degrees. They later went off & either got an employer to pay or paid themselves graduate degrees.
Awesome reply. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Wish me luck.
