The difficulty you are having is deciding between the 'fun' of what you like to do and the reality of what you need to do. Lets be honest if we could make a living off of our dreams we would all be millionaires. Sadly that is not the case. Reality comes to call and about the time you start to make your first student loan payment it will hit you like a ton of bricks. Your education needs to pay for itself or else it is a waste of time and money. If you are a member of the idle rich club that can go to college on their spare change then the story will be different but for 99.99% of us that is not the case and the loan payments are coming and you don't have the education needed to pay them off.
