don't do something you don't need. i love music, but i didn't need a degree in it to do what i want to do with it, so i switched to computer science. i got my degree with specialization in networking and data comm. now i'm a web developer on salary with benefits and i've never taken a web class in my life. it's just something i started tinkering with in '97
here's an interesting read, slightly off topic
