yeah, its good to know what you want to do ben, trust me. Im doing Information Science at uni, and i dont like itat all, but im in too deep to pull out now. You gotta make sure you know what you want to do. Find something your really passionate about and love to do, then make a living of it. Youll never "work" another day in your life.
