I'm very different here. I don't care where my degrees lead, I'm enjoying it now. In fact I have absolutely no clue what I'd want to do when I graduate from uni. I'll hopefully have a couple of degrees, to put in my resume, but what happens if I decide to do something totally different.
I know somebody who studied to become a primary school teacher. She absolutely loved the study of primary education, but when it came to graduation, she decided to persue a career that didn't require (or use) her degree. She loves where she's at now. So, it may end up that what you enjoy studying is not what you'll enjoy doing.
Basically what I tried to say was don't worry too much about job prospects. I've come into uni not knowing what I want to do, and I'm still unsure. If you enjoy what you do, and you know what you want to become, then bully to you! If you don't know what you want to become, but you're studying something you want to, then bully to you too!
I hope HSC kiddies enjoy their long break.
