Go for it

I don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to discourage you from chasing your dreams. Not even close. Chasing your dreams does not mean you have to abandon everything else. You like to draw? Great. How old are you? 15, 20, 25. Webcomics is a fantastic way to chase your dreams. You don't have to put every minute into it. You can spend time in college, work and still find time to hone your craft. Get something online and start building an audience. In the meantime you are getting that degree. Now after you graduate college you want to focus on comics full time that's great. You have that degree to fall back on. What if you find that after 10 years you are bored with drawing? You want to do something else? That degree helps ensure you are not taking a job that you'd have in high school. You can enter corporate America ready to collect your just rewards. Or you may realize that drawing everyday is your dream come true and you have the satisfaction of knowing you have your degree and the life experience to make your strip well rounded. Good luck.
