Aisa2000,
Reading your response made me think of something...almost any major/interest can be translated in to major bucks if you have the talent, drive and determination (and a bit of grace from God). For instance, lots of people major in communications as you mentioned. Most do not make a lot of money, but some become the Bryant Gumbels and Barbara Walters of the world. You may sacrifice in the short term...but the long term pay offs! I am a trainer (corporate--not physical) and while I make a decent living, there are those who make more than $5,000 just for an hour long keynote speech (and they do about 40 - 50 a year--you do the math!)On the flip side, I know unmotivated not too bright PhDs who check out people at the library!

Oprah says do what you love and the money will follow (easy for her to say)!!
