I think we have the answer in these lines. If you don't enjoy what you're learning, and if they are not meaningful to you, ditch them.
I studied business in college because I thought it would be responsible of me since I earned scholarships to go. Otherwise I would have simply joined a branch of the armed forces and gone from there. But really, all I wanted to do was travel. I broke free after college, moved to Ft lauderdale with $400 of bartending tip money in my pocket, found a job and saved enough beans to buy a sailboat for $5,000 and sail the Caribbean.
I know I can't make a living by sailing. Sure I can be a charter captain but I don't see the fun in that. Piracy is not an option, either...unfortunately.
So I am once again riding with the current, caught in the maelstrom, just making a wage, and saving for another adventure. I find joy in saving for my travels. It's not a joy of the job, it's a joy in the progress toward fulfillment of my next ambition. Maybe some day that ambition will make me money. Maybe not.
Doesn't matter--I've got a goal I'm working toward, and that's what's important to me.
