I agree with keeping your hobby out of the workplace. I love working on my car but if I had to do it everyday I'd hate it. I like how if the camaro is broken, I can spend a few hours fixing or trying to fix it and when I get sick of it, close the garage door and go home lol. As for a salary, picking a profession because of the money you could make is dumb. As others said, take various courses and figure out what you like. Since junior HS I thought I wanted to be a mechanical engineer. I got through 2 years of school studying physics, chemistry, calculus etc and I hated it towards the end. I just found myself not caring for the material and my grades slipped. JM at the time was studying finance and after looking at some of her books I thought maybe I'd take some business courses and see how I liked it. Long story short, I took an accounting class and I loved it. I'm now at willy p and I'll be graduating next December. Firms are always in my school looking for accounting majors and they've been offered 45-55k starting salaries right out of school and thats just a BS in accounting. Once you go take the CPA exam and pass, the salary will or will almost double.
