I'm stuck on my college degree choice.

I don't know whether to go for the degree that I'm not really interested in at all, but can make a good salary (like $55-70,000) right when I get out.


Or...a degree that I absolutely LOVE, but may only make $30,000-40,000 when I get out, and could make up to $100,000 someday, with enough education and experience.


It's stressing me because it's almost time to pick courses for next semester. And...basically, this next semester and the courses I take/major I pick will be the pin point of graduating on time. ugh!

A job can pay all the money you'd ever need and not be worth it if you're miserable.

Passion. If you go with money you'll end up getting bored with doing something you don't like and you won't be happy.

Get money, unless you despise that career.
You can always go to school later for whatever you're passionate about.
