your major should have nothing to do with how much you make unless you are going into a technical field such as medicine or certain part of the tech field.

I just don't know what to do because I love psychology but I don't want to end up with a useless degree AND take a paycut, that is not where I want to be at all and I also know I'm quite smart and If I put my mind to anything I can get a 3.5easy, what do you guys think?
