i'm studying chemistry right now (because i truly love it and am fascinated by it) but i agree there are so many dumbfucks (especially in my faculty of science) who go to university solely because they think it guarantees them acceptance to a medical school, and a rich career in a discipline they know/care nothing about.
if you are good/enjoy working with computers, there's always the option of studying computer science? people that have a knack for computers can make ALOT of money in that field. At my school, comp sci internships are the highest in demand & get paid more than all the other sciences. Even something as basic as website design will pay a summer student well into the 5-figures, which is basically unheard of for an undergrad science summer job (i've learned all too well). above all, its a field that will not be slowing down anytime soon so jobs are pretty much always guaranteed.
sorry for the rant, just thought i would share that. i was thinking earlier today that if i hadn't picked chemistry, i would pick computers for sure since those dudes are raking in the cash. Its really not too hard if you're good with computers (which many forum-goers probably are)
EDIT: just to make clear, i'm not by any means trying to imply that school is the best choice. just giving the point of view of a current student
