Just a quick note - your gen ed classes don't determine your degree. You can take psych gen ed class without being a psych major. Just a note, since I myself was a psych major - Many Psychology Ph.Ds programs have an acceptance rate lower than 10%. I mean that you can have a 4.0, excellent references, have done research, and you can still get rejected at all 12 programs you apply at. Also, a Bachelor's in Psych has a value of about zilch, meaning there are very few jobs in psychology, unless you want to work as a psych aide or in direct care. If you can make it all the way through that and into a Doctorate, I think it is a pretty cool job, although a little stressful. Also, although it is a long way in the future, I think it is easier to get into a Master's, pay for it with loans, and from there get acceptance into a Doctorate program because it is so extremely difficult to get into a PhD in Psych. Sorry to bring the bad news...Psych nursing is probably an easier alternative.
