[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I majored in business undergrad and got an MBA from a top school because it was lucrative. I wish I could go back and do it all over again.  I would have pursued something I actually enjoyed and felt passionate about. Money isn’t everything and I wish I hadn’t fallen into that trap.  Making a modest living at something I loved - that would have been a better goal for me. And I often wonder if I would have been even more successful doing something I actually cared about. If film was my kid’s passion, I’d just make sure they knew it wasn’t an easy path.[/quote]

It's someting easy to babble about, however the problem is you only have one life. 
Everyone has curiosity about the roads not taken, and some sort of regrets.

There are probably 10X 100X more cases of the other way around.
They tried to be a movie star or rock star but now are waiting tables and wishing that they were more responsible and realistic.
You can at least do what you like as a hobby.

As for the college, you can always double major, major(passion)+minor(lucrative), minor(passion)+major(lucrative) if you have the will and talent in order to have more options and flexibility in hands.  
My kids are doing that, so I'm not sure what people are complaining about.
