if you know your meyers-briggs or ennegream personality type you can find lists of careers that are a really good fit at this link by clicking on the types in the first column. e.g. if you are an enfp then click on "vigilant" in the first column and it will give good career options (just scroll down the page for them).

a friend of mine who was in my program did kind of the same thing. he did most of the psych major and then switched to graphic design. the combination makes you really good at designing websites and creating things that are visually pleasing because you have a good idea of where the eye tends to go and the things people tend to pay attention to first and so on...
