Many people base their future jobs on the course they decide to do. There's nothing wrong with that, I'm hoping to do the same. I'm doing my degrees because I have a keen interest in both fields I'm studying, and I want to learn more.

What is not a good idea is when one chooses to study a degree/at a university for the main purpose of getting a job. That is a waste of three to five years. If you're not interested in the content, don't like the way the uni does things with the content, then you're best off going somewhere else and/or doing something else.

What I'm trying to say, and it's not very clear is that if you've not interest in studying your chosen field further, then don't go to university. If you've no interest in the field at all, don't study it. If you're not happy with the running of the course of study at a particular university, don't go there. Don't waste your time (since all you're doing is wasting your own time) doing something you don't want to do for a few years. You're on the starting line, jobs are on the finish line. Before you worry about the job, you need to get closer to it.

Note: those who start a course of study in a field/university because they couldn't get into their chosen field are different. They have the intention of getting into their field when they transfer, and hope to be doing it later on.

would this reasoning apply to a student who studies the bachelor of education in order to become a teacher?

Re: Things you should know about universities, and choosing.

Wait, are you asking which college has the best study abroad programs?

Don't pick a college based on the number of places they'll "let" you go to study!

Pick a college based on what you're interested in, how big it is, where it's at, city vs. suburbs vs. rural, campus culture, their mission (social justice? business?), the activities, the dorms, the food (don't forget the food!)....
