Agree.
A psychology degree typically requires additional graduate level degrees to work in that field, in the US. If you know you are guaranteed a position in your country, you should jump on that and attend a university in your country.
There is no lack of US students with Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology. So, the US Immigration Service wouldn’t be inclined to grant additional time, to grant an Optional Practical training (OPT) year. WHO would sponsor that, since there are tons of students with this degree?
Most students in the US, with a Bachelors degree in psychology, typically don’t earn a lot of money in that field and typically can’t “practice” in it without further education.
Those who intend to practice as psychologists, spend years in training after their Bachelor’s and earn PSYD or Ph.Ds. It’s not a rapid process. So if you were intending to help your parents out, it’ll take at least 6 to 8 years, minimum in the US, and then you would return to your country to become employed.
Rushing through the Bachelor’s degree, would prepare you for further study in the field.
