Money is ALWAYS a problem, and unless my death comes, then I will probably be stuck with my parents forever.

Few people DO know what they wanna do at this age. What I am trying to say is that even if you go an 3 years education and decide that wasn't your thing then in the second education you'll read you might who is 23. But this is if you realize it AFTER 3 YEARS.... which is quite unlikely. If you don't like the education you'll most likely realize that before those 3 years have past.

Look ICWAI, there isn't anything negative with starting a course or a complete education. Worst case scenario is that you realize thats not what you wanted to know or that you fail and then you'll probably get at least one more chance. It's even better to read "patterns cups in japanese history" than nothing.
As I said, I don't want to spend years of my life learning something that will eventually end up being a waste of time. Millions of people get educations but yet half of them end up being in a job that has nothing to do with whatever grades or degrees they graduated with. Why waste so much time and effort, and money on an education but yet still end up nowhere. What's the point in that?

Btw about psychology not being as you expected search for courses with the word "cognition" in it. That might be more about how our perception works and how we behave and why and so on.
It's not so much that the course put me off, just the lecturer and that I failed. In all honesty, I love psychology, but as I've said, everything just becomes so difficult for me. There's no drive in me to want to study, the topics we had to revise were pathetic and the questions I never understood and I've always found it difficult to ask for help. Somedays I think about retaking the course, but I don't want to waste my time again. And I have no drive or motivation to want to take it again.
