Which one to choose?
I am a class 12 pass-out in the year 2020 and I have chosen to study BSc (Hons) in Psychology, which I have chosen from a very early age and not said to anyone. It is my passion to work with people's mind. But my parents are not allowing me to study this subject as because they feel like it has no future and I will not be able to make up a good career. They are just forcing me to take up subjects like Computer Science or Biotechnology which is growing everywhere day by day. This has created a lot of mental stress and trauma in my mind. I have thought of not studying anything else and not go to any college in their preferred subjects and study Psychology books and make up myself at home. So, will I be able to do anything? Or, along with my stress I should go with their chosen subjects and just take a degree without my will?
I am already late in my academic year due to some medical issues

Yes..you can study anything you want. Best is to talk it through with your parents instead of any arguments. As mentioned by other people do a good research about psychology field and chose best option you want for yourself. Psychology have many sub stream; like clinical, counselling, organisational, army psychology and many more. Chose wise and tell about your research to your parents. Neuropsychology is also a very great field to work with.
Don't be disappointed...if you don't apply on yourself how will you deal with people's mind. Be motivated and be determined without creating any arguments and fuss.
