When I was visiting colleges, I remember sitting in Chapman's theater (the theater school theater) and listening to the department chair talk about directions in life or something like that. He mentioned that he had not actually majored in anything remotely related to theater, yet here he was, with a job in that industry. The idea that you could wind up with an enjoyable career in a field that you did not major in had never really occurred to me until then; I'm glad he brought it up...it helped me realize that college is an experience, not necessarily a binding contract to your major.
In fact, I carried his words with me throughout college and have since never regretted going to film school, even though a part of me knew all along that I may not wind up working in that industry specifically. There is no rule stating that college is solely for learning what you want to do---it's also there to help you figure out what you DON'T want to do.
