In order to get any kind of decent job in sociology or psychology, you will need to have an advanced degree -- a Masters at least.

Art is a TOUGH way to make a living, but it can be done if you don't mind drawing what other people want you to draw, not what 'inspires' you.

If you're not sure about these areas, why limit yourself to them? What do you truly LOVE to do? Only YOU can make the choice.

Good luck!

Neither is a great field for employment. Sociology is COMPLETELY worthless, unless you plan on teaching. Psychology will require at least a Masters, but a Doctorate is necessary to make the good money. Art is something that a school cannot teach you. You either are an artist or not. College can teach you math, science, business, etc., but if you do not have a raw talent and passion for art, then college is not going to instill that into you. Most artists did not have to get a degree in art because they already have the talent in them.
