What is more important? Staying in college or earning an income?
Im 21 years old and I'm trying to make an decision. I want to earn my B.S in Psycology but I'm more interested in making money. Right now I'm a Hair stylist, I travel alot for business and my job provides fast daily income. Honestly, I dont think I would cross over to use my degree, but earning it, is an accomplishment. What do you think is more important? The beauty industry is fast and exciting and I love doing hair, what should I do. I love learning, but I love working as well, yes I can do both part-time, but does it make sense to continue,even if I know that I might not get into the field of Psycology later on? Advice please...

It's often best to look into your heart, you should do what you really want to, not what you think is the right thing or what you 'should' do.
you talk more passionately about the hair styling and money right now, so I suggest that is the path to take for now.
You can always continue your education later in life when you are 100% it's what you want then.

School's not just about getting a job directly linked to what you study. It's about using your mind in all sorts of ways. A lot of people go to school for something specific, but don't go into that field to work. They still remember it as a great experience though. You get to meet people you probably wouldn't meet otherwise. You get to see how a variety of people live their lives. You work on a variety of projects: essays, reports, presentations, etc.
When you get a bunch of people together who have made the choice to study instead of make instant money, you get a different environment than at work.
You could probably take a lot of the experiences you've had at work and apply them to what you learn at school.
