I do want to say do what you love, the rest will follow, but there are too many short-shortsighted and narrow-minded people like the above that put more value on the what rather than the how and the why.

Most jobs, especially in entry or just lower levels, really don't require a specific college degree, much less a college degree at all, but it makes certain kinds of people feel better. It also makes filtering applications easier, that's really all it's there for.
