Here's the thing. My end desire is to be financially independent, so I can pursue all of the things that I've always wanted to do. I don't have any specific things I want to do, besides travelling the world, but in general, I want to be able to wake up, ask myself "what do I want to do today (things within reason)?" and be able to do it, without really having to worry about money. I realized that I can't really do this with any 9-5 job I would most likely get after receiving my degree. Basically, I don't want my life to consist of the "work until I'm 65, then die 3 years later from colon cancer or some random thing."
But I think I have decided what to do for now. I'm going to try to graduate 2-3 semesters early, just to get college out of the way, while pursuing web development/design, that way I can always fall back on my degree if I can't make enough money doing what I like. |
