My advice is take a bunch of different classes and try to find something that inspires you regardless of whether you consider it to be leading towards a "practical" degree and career. University can be a great learning experience in many ways. I think most people will underperform when they are taking something they aren't passionate about. Try to find what you are passionate about and you'll learn something about yourself.

I ended up taking a Humanities degree in my mid 20's after being a software developer for the first half and have never regretted it despite it not leading to a specific career thus far. Wouldn't change a thing, it was such a great experience. Many great profs, read a lot of great books and had a blast living in a different city in residence and meeting all sorts of different people from different parts of this country and other countries.
