this is my first year in college, and i needed to be full time this first semester so i took an elective, drawing 1, surprisingly to me, i did very well, my teacher says i have lots of talent, and that i should major in art.
yet, my parents think it's not a very practical career. and i myself don't know of an interesting enough art career that i would want to do for the rest of my life.
but i really enjoy drawing, and i felt right at home in that class.
my teacher wants me in her next level class, but i don't want to take any classes that don't count towards my major in psychology. i would love to take art classes for fun, but i have to pay for college out of my own pocket as it is.
i dunno what to do, major in art without any particular job in mind, or just leave it as a hobby... i'm open to any suggestions, thanks

You never know where I life is going to take you. I took the practical route and had a major that supposedly is easy to get a job in. 25 years later, I've never had a job in my major, and only a part-time job in my minor.
The book "The Purpose-Driven Life" is subtitled, "What on earth am I here for?" Perhaps God has given you artistic ability for a reason, or perhaps it's an ability he gave you for pleasure and to express yourself to him. Is art something you just enjoy for fun, or is it something that you are passionate about? Maybe you don't know yet. I'd recommend taking more art classes to see where it goes, praying along the way.
I love music. For a few years, I had a career related to music. But after that, I decided I enjoyed music more as a hobby; when it was my job it took some of the fun out of it. (But I might take another job in music in the future if one comes my way that hits the spot.)
