Should I change majors so a subject I'm not as passionate about, but will likely provide better jobs?

No! If you are not interested in a major, what makes you think you would want to do it as a career? Also, there are plenty of unemployed business and HR majors.

I have to disagree with your statement that "higher education is basically trade school now." Unless you major in Nursing, Accounting, or Engineering, a major does not lead into a specific job - and even then you could be unemployed (14% unemployment in Architecture)

Finish your degree in psychology. It is a great, general major. The fact of the matter is that you will probably need to attend Graduate School and get least a Masters degree. You can have a Bachelors in Psychology and go to grad school for HR or business if that's what you want to pursue.

If you do not like working with people, then HR may not be a good fit. Have you thought about Statistics? This is an important area and your background in Psychology would help.

Go to your college's Career Services and take the Strong Interest Inventory or Myers Briggs Type Indicator to learn about possible careers.
