Unfortunately, the psychology angle will be quite limited. You need at least a major in psychology (usually) to become a research assistant with psychologists or social workers. You cannot counsel patients without at least a master's, so research is really the only type of jobs that may be open (in my experience). If you want to pursue a job working with patients in a patient-care setting (hospitals, community health center,etc) you need to go for a more advanced degree. Additionally, communications and psychology are the two most popular majors for undergraduates. Less than 5% of students with a psychology major or minor actually work in the field. Therefore, I would suggest trying to differentiate yourself in some way. If you start volunteering in patient care situations, you may be able to get hired later based on your experience.

The bachelor's degree can take between 120 to 128 credits to complete depending on the college or university and the specific program of study (major).
