Balance is important. And if there is something you really love, go for it, and worry about how you're going to make the big bucks later on. Plenty of people get "food money" with no degree at all... in fact, it takes college kids a number of years to catch up, when you count the time they spend in school.It makes very little difference what your Bachelor's is in, unless you are trying to get into Harvard Law School or somesuch. If you are changing gears in a really big way, getting a second Bachelor is not a big deal, either. I'd say four years getting a degree in Awesome Fun is a great investment; you can always spend a year learning Accounting down the road. The reverse is much harder to pull off, especially once you have kids.</blockquote>
