If I could go to college cheaply, I would. But try to be $20k or less in debt when you get out. If you can do that, just study whatever you want. Or even better just go and have fun. You’ve got your whole life to be a miserable adult, put it off a bit.

Career-wise, keep your expenses as low as you can, and do whatever you want for awhile.

Finally remember that essentially all advice you get is terrible. Most people are very wrong about most things.
