That's true. And you can always change majors if you decide you hate what you're trying to learn - especially in the first couple years. As Joseph Campbell says, follow your bliss.

Who your work for (and with) can be more important than what you do, sometimes. I don't exactly have my dream job (else I'd be writing books full time, doing book signings, and watching in horror at the things shippers do to fictional characters on the internet), but it pays the bills, my bosses treat me well, my subordinates appreciate my help, and my peers are cool, so I don't have a problem with showing up for work.

Of course, there are some talents and hobbies that you can actually turn into a career more easily than an interest in writing genre fiction...
