The thing with a degree - at least in the US - is that it often doesn't matter so much what your degree is in, but that you have one. It opens some doors - even if they aren't well paid doors. It really doesn't matter so much so long as you don't hate your life - in the end, it is just a job. All the knowlege, literature, philosophy and art keeps the rest of life better.
Besides. Your view is one of maturity. I would be more prudent now -in my late 30's - but when I was 16, 18, and 22? I just wanted to go to learn stuff. Neat stuff. I wanted art school because I wanted to learn to do neat stuff. I've never really cared about a career, but that's worked out to be a bonus for me.

Just a different balance in life priorities.
