First of all I commend you for having the foresight to realize where your passions are. I was in the same situation as you but my situation ended because I ran out of money and could not continue down (once I think about it) an empty and unfulfilled career. While I agree with Rachel, my prospective is a little different. I have seen and known people who have went to school for 3-6 years, obtaining degrees in fields they thought was what they wanted just to graduate with huge college debt and the desire to not even work or seek employment in their field of study. Many have actually gone back to school for the degree they wanted, all the while incuring more debt. They may be happy but broke, lol. Those who decided to continue on with their degree (for the sake of money) end up bitter and asking themselves “What if I would have followed my passion the first time?”. Ultimately you have to make the decision to either tough it out or cut your loses because in the end you are the one who have to face the consequences. Just make sure it is the right choice you can live with and accept.
