I can only speak for my own experience: follow your heart.

If you are happy at your job, you will be successful at it. If you have a passion for what you do, the money will come. You might not get rich, and it certainly won't be easy (it never is, regardless which route you take), but you'll survive and provide.

I dropped out of business school to go to film school. I knew it was a stupid move financially, but that's what I wanted to do. I decided I'd rather be broke and happy than miserable and wealthy. I worked ten years of crap paying jobs (usually 2-3 at the same time) but never gave up on my passion. Now, I support my family doing what I love and getting paid fairly well for it.

Good luck to ya, whatever you choose.
