To Love What You Do, or to Love Money?

The Twitter account that I actively follow @RenLearnUS tweeted and article from @TheAtlanticEDU which is about students majoring in "fun things" while in college.  As a college student in her 5th year, going on 6th to finish a dual degree with a BA in Mathematics and a BA in Education, it sure has me shaking in my boots.  Being that I'm in school much longer than most, my debt has certainly surpassed what the "average" student debt is of $26,500 (I really wonder how that was possible for most people?).  Those who start in a field with a lower income often struggle when paying their student loans back.  So according to this article, students who major in things such as Theater have to payback 14.1% of their paycheck, but those in energy and extraction engineering only put about 7% of their paycheck towards these student loans.  I think this is a great article for @RenLearnUS to post because this allows teachers to encourage their students even more to shoot for the sky.  Granted, those majoring in "fun things" can also shoot for the stars - it could be more encouragement for them to focus on more than one thing to have a back up plan with something else that they love.  Or maybe encourage them to apply these "fun things" to a more intensive major that could be incorporated with what they love, this way they can still feel passionate about the subject matter.  This would help out our economy as well as our futures wallets.
