Default Need opinions on this situation.

So here's the deal... I am about 42% done with getting my bachelor's in Finance, but I also work as a computer tech. I enjoy my job and am pretty decent at it, and can see myself going pretty far with it, career-wise. But a bachelor's in Finance dishes out more in the end, I just don't enjoy it as much as an IT job. So should I go ahead and drop the bachelor's and start building up my certificates for IT full time? Don't want to waste my time and money on it if its not what I'll end up doing.

tl;dr: go with the big ass salary job I don't like, or ok salary job I like.

When the devil asks you to sell your soul - are you going to ask us what to sell it for?

This is a personal choice man,

Go for a niche between the two - tell me that people in finance dont use IT programs/systems. Being on both sides of the fence could put you in a very interesting position, possibly a very rewarding one depending on how good you are.

I have a problem too...

I am fucking sick to death of having financial issues. My dad works his fucking arse off, and we're getting nowhere! The greedy fuck-head banks only want our money, they don't care about the common man!

I'm wondering, should I get into selling drugs or something just to make quick cash quickly, or should I just suck it up, go through Uni, get a high-paying job, then slave my arse away just to provide for a family?

Quick money <-> High risk or
Eventual money <-> No risk... ?

This, Don't hijack.

OP: I would definitely look into a position that deals with both.

If not, I would actually look at doing the financial role and keep IT as a hobby. Unless of course you really hate finance ( can't see why you would though. You must of chose it for a reason.) Then go with IT
