My friend went through this dilemma. She was doing psychology for the sake of her parents, and gave it up after a year to transfer onto a degree in pop music and culture. Her mother was absolutely furious about it, but now she's in a band that's starting to make waves over here. I've long fought with the need to please my parents, but to be honest, it's not their life, it's yours.
Have a read of Robin Sharma's "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" series, especially the one entitled "Seven Stages to Awakening". That might help you out.
