Hah, my situation was wierd when it came to school. I knew it would be hard for me to stick with it, the six years in post-secondary I'd have to spend to get the job freedom and cash in my pocket I want, so I just chose a university, chose a program and just put my blinders on and went for it.
Emotionally I still haven't thought more about my career path then what I did five years ago in first year while walking 30 seconds to the bus stop and deciding I'd get a psych BA, Marketing and Sales diploma and become some sort of marketing whiz. I just followed Nike and "Just do it".
It's turned out well though. I'm about a year away from being done the marketing thing, I have the BA, and companies are lining up to hire me straight out of school so I do get my freedom and hopefully my cash so I can be spontaneous and never worry about money again.
