We can't live our lives to work. IMO, one of the most important things in life is your happiness and doing what makes you happy. Of course we can't just go on through life doing only what makes us happy because society doesnt allow it. You gotta have that education and good job to make the money to do the things that make you happy. Basically what i'm saying is- your hobbies, friends, family, doing things you truly love- are some of the most important things in life. Your education and job are stepping stones to living comfortably/doing happy things. I'll personally be happy if I have just about any job thats pays well enough for me to live good and do cool shit like traveling.

Sorry if none of this makes sense or isnt relevant. I'm doing my best to put my epiphanies into words. It all makes sense in my head
Most people do not do what they majored in college in unless it's graduate school. Most employers just want the piece of paper to show you have good reading, math, and comprehension skills. Once you get the job then it's time to prove yourself or try something else if it doesn't work out.
