I think that you have been given some wonderful advice! I just wanted to add that I understand where you are coming from (minus the "mom pressure"....I AM the mom around here. LOL!). I am getting ready to go back to college and tossed around different plans and have finally decided on what I want to do. It can be stressful...maybe you can sit down and write out the pros and cons to each field that you are considering.
I wish you luck...do what is going to make you the happiest.
