I don't want to pursue a career in my field. Should I just stick it out and get my degree and then decide later what to do with my life?

I would say just get your degree.
I've spent my entire career in the high tech sector - an area for Bachelor of Science degrees.
And I have all my degrees in Bachelor of Arts...
What really matters is just having a degree - from there, you can do what you want, as long as your dedicated.
Just my .01

Absolutely. Sure, it's better to have a degree in the field you want to enter, but having a degree is often good enough. A clever resume can many times help out with that. Make sure that you do get some experience in whatever it is you want to do, otherwise it will be considerably more difficult to find a job.

i think u kno the answer to this already...but wat sense does it make for u to come all this way just to quit?? besides the chances of u pursuing a career without a degree nowadays is minimal...so wat's a couple of months??? if u want to test the waters in a particular field, then try doing some sort of internship.
believe me i've been there...i only have one more class to take in order to get my degree...n i don't even want to do my major anymore...but i would b pissed at the fact that i would've wasted so much time, when i could just finish and maybe do something else in grad school.

yes, many jobs only require that you have a bachelors degree. they don't care what field it is in. plus, you could go on to get a masters in the field in which you really want to work, or continue on with some other schooling. stay in school. but start to figure out what you really want to do.

Yes... I would assume a large number of students don't follow their major. I didn't and I'm so glad. A college degree is worth much more than just a piece of paper with your school on it.

Yes. Don't mess with it now or you might end up there for another sememster. Just get your degree. When you hit the working world no one will care what your degree is in, just that you have one.

Stick with it. People will look at your resume more if you have a degree, than if you haven't.
