Degrees: Practical or Fun?

[lgstudy]

Okay, so I'm working through my associate's degree right now. After I graduated high school, I had no idea what to do, so I decided to take some time off, thinking I would appreciate a break. Instead, I got bored without school. So, instead of taking a year break, I only had a three to four month break and then I started taking some classes from the local technical and community college and started studying for and taking CLEPs and DSSTs. Problem is, although I appreciate having school to do, this isn't helping me decide what I want to go to school for. (Right now, I'm just doing a general Associate in Arts degree.) I have a couple of different ideas of degrees that I would really enjoy studying, but they aren't exactly practical degrees if I want to get a job in whatever field I study. So...I'm just wondering what y'all think: Should you get a degree just because you'll enjoy it while it lasts, even if you will never use it? Or should degrees be practical - something that you can actually use to find a job to support yourself when you graduate, even if it's not exactly what you want to study?
