Cool - I say go with what your heart tells you to be doing. If you can spend your day doing something you're passionate about and enjoy you're really lucky - lots of people are stuck in jobs they hate because they need the money and or are affraid to change.

My undergrad was in English & Philosophy, so I wasn't really qualified to do anything - I got into sales, was successful at it but didn't really enjoy it, moved into product developement was ok at it, but didn't really enjoy it. Went back to school part time and fell in love with corporate finance - go figure - and along the way picked up an accounting designation. Now I'm shortlisted for two very different jobs - one very senior high paying and high stress leading an SAP implementation, which I've never done before, the other as a controller at a small biotech start up. The pay's not great but they offer great work life balance & it would be great experience to get hands on financial accounting experience when all I've done is cost. So don't worry about not using your eduction. It was and still is valuable to you. You'll never know where your next job might take you, but as long as you're happy in it you're ahead of the game.
