[Skud]

It makes perfect sense to post this here. Where else will you find an Uncle Iroh when you need one?

I'm a software developer by day, working at a company where there's a lot of software developers. I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing when I went into school, but I stayed with computer science, graduated, and started working.

Even though that's my story, there's one piece of advice I remember that really helped me through school. Someone said that it's a surprisingly small percent of people that end up "using their degree" or going into a career in the field they studied. But the degree is still important. They said to stick with studying something that you are able to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy studying, that is!) and keep at it. What you study doesn't necessarily limit what you can do later.

So, keep at it, and remember that you don't have to worry about big future stuff now. If you are studying something that's at least related to what you like and might want to do someday, that's what you want.
