I say sometimes people pursue a career for the money and comfortable, secure living it will provide. Others pursue a career because it's what they love doing and the thought of doing it for a job is even better. I think it's all a matter of personal preference. Now-a-days the only thing with either choice is the amount of student debt on loans to get the education for the career, that's the scary part.

It's you life, do what you envision for your future, research into what you're interested in, check tuition fees, and possible employment oportunities in your field of choice. Take time to write down all the pros/cons of your decision and then decide. Whatever you come up with is right for YOU.

Don't know how much help that was, but that's my .02 cents worth anyways.
