Priority One is putting bread on the table.
Priority Two is following your passions.
There are a lot of things I enjoy that I keep as hobbies, not careers. I enjoy trumpet performance, had more than a few people ask me if I was going to be a music major. Could I have survived and gotten a degree? Yes. But would it have been in my best interests? No. Performance jobs don't exist, teaching jobs are harder and harder to get, and if I was thrown at music 24/7 I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much. Same with Photography - I love it, but it's a hobby, and only a hobby. I'll stick to my Engineering Degree for a career.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
