There's a lot of professional out there, who is successful in their fields but only to find out that the degree that they have finished is not the required one in their choosen fields of expertise. You are right, it's the career path that is important. Knowledge is always there waiting to be discovered by an indivudual, the better career, the better life.. :)

I think a person should choose their passion. Which job makes you more happy? I went into human services because it paid well, and after 26 years I hate it intensely. There is very little reward in it. I would probably have been happier had I stayed an assistant manager at Arby's restaurant instead of going into the field I chose. Good luck in your decision. :-)
