Don't drop out and keep being a computer programmer, especially not with the current job market. (You could at least get a real CS degree -- don't fall for an associates' degree in a particular language or technology like .NET.) Don't go all the way to a Master's or Doctorate in clinical psychology without figuring out whether you like the kind of jobs you'll get, especially at the entry level, though, either.

Take classes that look interesting, go to random seminars and talks, and use this time to explore your interests. Declare a major after you've been exposed to enough to know what you want.

do you want money? a social network? to wine & dine people? asking "where do you want to be in 10 or 20 years" might help you answer this.

Any brilliant advice would certainly be appreciated. Shameless advocacy is often good, too.

dropping out will make everything five times more complicated. you get one opportunity to go to college and follow the normal track, and it's a great opportunity; take that opportunity unless you have some even better opportunity. the average dropout computer programmer I know is better than the average non-dropout computer programmer I know. (that's because only people with above average talent are able to drop out and still make it professionally.) however, almost all of the best programmers I know went to school.
