<human>: One day, I was in pre-calculus with a substitute teacher. She struck a conversation with me about my future plans and where I wanted to go for college. I told her that I wanted to pursue social work. For me, it was great because I've had experience working with kids (my mom is a foster parent) and the school of social work at my University gave me an $8,000 scholarship. She proceeded to tell me that I won't be making "jack squat" doing that and that it's a horrible major to pursue.

What a horrible thing to tell someone.

Ever since she told me that, I've been obsessing over it. What if it really doesn't do jack squat for me? Is income everything when it comes to choosing a major? I feel so lost. To me, $40,000-$60,000 is a great income considering my family only makes about $26,000 per year. Should I change my major to something that makes "more money" and lose my scholarship? Did I really make a horrible decision?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
