I agree with you on that point. I came in with that sort of mindset, looking at what would make the most money. Then while in college (I'm entering my senior year in September) I realized that it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. For most people, just graduating from college will mean that you will be fine financially in the end no matter what your degree is in. It is much more important to find something that you want to do for the next 40-50 years of your life.
