Hey, /biz/. In a few short days I'll be making a life changing decision to either quit my decent paying job 40k a year with prospects up to 90k a year through hard labor that's detrimental to my health to go ahead and dedicate my full time to college In hopes that:

>I'll make a career where just won't hate my life.
>make decent money

I want to get an industrial design degree, or possibly ME. Still not quite sure which one, or even if I would be able to find jobs with having those degrees.

Am I about to dun goof? BMW
> decent amount in my bank account saved
> no debt

You'll realize there's not much of a difference in the salary to justify the salary and go back. Every IB friend I have has gone from $150-200K/year 80-100+ hour weeks to $50K working 3 days a week and have never been more happy.

Only people who think salary = happy life are college kids. The guys who really love money and love to put up with hard work start their own businesses, they don't work for somebody else.

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. I have a passion for inventing and thinking outside the box, and I think ID would make me happy. I've heard that:
>Doing what you love for money=immeasurable wealth

Which is kinda what I'm hoping for. But at the same time, being my own boss and living off of residual income through something I created or a business sounds equally nice..

If there's anyone who can help me decide, please do. I have 15k in savings if that helps any.

Hell no. Do what you're good at, to afford to do what you love. If you're good at math and love to paint, then becoming a Finance/Engineering major and having a hobby in painting is the most logical choice. But I think rationally. Some people make a good living doing what they love, but it's not very realistic to succeed statistically.
