I think that is one of the best pieces of advice ever. I was #1 of 25 picked to go do McPherson College in Kansas for automotive restoration (very sweet gig!) but I decided that if I enjoyed it as a hobby, I was never going to work on my own stuff after work. Whether or not it was the right choice, I will never know but its what I came to the conclusion at.

I went to Mercer County (as a history major) for a year to kind of get my head on straight, and then went to Rutgers (as a psych major). Me and Rutgers didn't get along so I left there and went back to Mercer for a year (as an education major) and eventually went to Rider where I started out thinking education. I took a Marketing class, the professor was awesome and really made me decide on Marketing. My curriculum though was all over the place and I was only 20 credits out of graduation from when I started. I finished with a BA in Liberal Arts so I could get done earlier. As of this moment it was the best choice I ever made. I don't think I could have gone on with school much longer. Its really tough to find out what you want to do, I can attest to that. Just sit back and really think, but don't worry you could possibly change your mind a few times.
