Not a psych major but--

You MUST study what drives you, not your parents. I understand they will be paying for college--but you will do better, make better grades in the major that you are passionate about. Studying something because its what your parents want--well, I cannot stress how wrong that is.

College is about discovering who you are and what you want. Its about becoming an adult. About making your own choices. You may start out psych and find yourself gravitating towards business as you learn and grow--but your parents need to give you the opportunity to find out what it is YOU love to do, it is YOUR life-- Lots of money in a job you hate is not worth it-- BELIEVE ME, I've been there. Less money in a job you love--well, loving how you spend your days is so important to your quality of life.

On a side note, my brother is planning to transfer to SC as a psych major in the fall!
