Degrees: Practical or Fun?

[rlw74]

My personal advice is that nothing you do will be "wrong"per se. Even if you pick that impractical degree and it leads no where, you have a degree (which isn't wasted) and obviously the smarts and will power to go after another degree later if you need something more practical. I didn't know what I wanted to do either so I put my college education in hold, got mired down in life, bills, kids, jobs, etc. Twenty years later I'm just now finishing a degree. So, my advice, finish something so you don't have regrets and then see where it takes you. It's better than doing nothing and waiting until you are sure you've found the perfect job/career.
