Question How important is that degree?

I am a 20 year old looking for some much needed guidance on my future plans with my education. I am a third year college student in Graphic Design on the 5 1/2 year plan. Ever since I was young I have been interested in hair and beauty. In elementary school I would dye my hair different colors with kool aid with my neighbors and always remind my sister when she was due for a little eye brow plucking. It would only make sense that I would go to attend cosmetology school doesn't it? Getting a 4-year degree is the norm, and people always say that there is no down side to getting one. So I went to college, started in business, then switched to graphic design. My mind always seems to wander to the field of hair though. Finally I decided to listen to my heart and I applied to a cosmetology school over the summer. (this year) I had the start date and everything. Before I knew it, I was back at my college and calling the hair school telling them I was no longer going there. I am not sure if it was out of fear or if I wanted to finish my degree or what!Why did I come back? Now that I am back at school I feel that I did not make the right decision and it is hard for me to stay on task with homework and school. What do I Do!!!!!!! Please any advice would be great. I kindly appreciate it!
