Look at it this way. You have a degree. Any job you apply for will be more possible for you to get simply because you have higher education. Look at what I've done. I have a Bachelors in Elementary Education. I've done a number of secretarial jobs, worked sales, been the assistant for the VP in a coorporation, been Production Control Engineer for another coorporation, been a computer tech for my college, taught school, and now I'm self employed doing day care. I love what I do now. I don't know if I'll ever go back to work in Elementary education. So many people go for one degree and then never work in that field directly. A college degree is partly just showing that you are capable of doing something a little more difficult than a highschooler might be able to do. Yes it does prepare you for that one field but all those general education courses aren't a waste at all. Branch out and get imaginative. Try out a few things maybe before you go back to school. The best way to know what you like and what you do want to do is experimentation and talking to people in the fields that DO interest you. Your education isn't a waste it's just a step in the right direction.
