Firstly, it sounds like you have a very solid grounding in programming. Why not expand your mind? Take some economics, law or statistics subjects, and you may find a personal interest and niche at the intersection of the two fields. The classical reason that they force kids to do this is so that you don't develop narrowly as an individual. If you don't want to do psychology, do some research into other fields, find one you want to learn about, and talk to the professors about swapping psych for one of them. Remember - programmers in IT are a dime a dozen. Programmers in other fields are rarer than hen's teeth. Secondly, as an employer a degree serves as a signal that a student is ready and willing to accept short-term pain in return for long-term gain. Compared to other graduates who have a degree, you'll always be second-best. Lastly, don't be fooled by the perception that iOS will be around forever. A degree will give you a foundation that you can fall back on. You've already made the commitment of the first year - stick it out. Talk to the professors about accelerating your course if you're doing incredibly well and finding it boring.
