I'll also add this, search the job marketing sites for some of your ideas.... see how many options are actually out there up for grabs

I spent 5yrs, and went $48,000 in student loan debt pursuing a BSc Chemistry, turned into a BSc Ecology. I am now a welder..... there were no jobs to be had, and they paid less than our new minimum wage is at now. Ended up turning my summer job as a welders helper into my career.

Mech Eng. - I work with a mid 20's guy who got this degree 3yrs ago, super smart and top of his class. He couldn't get a job with his degree, and joined our company as a welder. Said after grad, only 2 out of 60 grads had jobs lined up.

Just something to think about.
