<p>Look at an AP psych book and you'll find there's a lot more science these days, even at the entry level. I took a couple of psych courses eons ago to get social science credit; I liked it but thought it far too easy in comparison to my chemistry major. Your son may be very good in math/science but interest trumps ability- relax and let him explore this field. He may find it boring eventually or be able to use his science abilities to make real contributions to the field. </p>
<p>Aside- as physicians my husband and I have told people who have asked if son will follow us that he is too smart to be a physician; it sure has changed, even for people who want to take care of patients not just make money.</p>
<p>For all of you who may want to criticize the OP- I can understand where she is coming from and why she is upset.</p>
