I heard a good line after finishing college that would have been better, and hopefully will help someone here.
Minor in what you live, major in what will get you a job.
I think that’s much better advice. Chances are you won’t enjoy your work, but with a minor you could do something like minor in art or history, but major in business or something. Then you may not be doing exactly what you want, but maybe you can be adjacent to it.
Like maybe you have to be an accountant, but maybe you could be an accountant for a museum. Think of all the accountants out there who have no knowledge of the items in the museum, now think of how much more employable you could be if you said you were an accountant but you minored in art.

My job pays for the things I WANT to do.
