I think medaille has it spot on!!!
I've got a degree in multimedia and I am so happy I did the degree. It just means that I have one less thing to worry about and I never have to worry about " if only I had stuck at it".
In australia, having a degree means that if I want to get a qualification in some other field it will take me much less time to do. For example I thought I wanted to be a kinder teacher just recently (after multimedia) and it would only take me an extra year, but if I had no degree it would take me thee years.
Now getting back to what medaille said, I did just that. I took a casual job in childcare to see if it was truly my passion ( I was so sure it was) but you know what now I'm not so sure - ha ha! So even if you think something is your absolute passion it may not be once you get there.
I think now I need to blend multimedia and children's work together as I do really like the animating and interactive side of things, but found working in childcare that I loved making games and objects for kids to play with. So I want to start creating online children's site, games etc
Get you degree and find a casual job in your local salon..
