Take it
Work expierence couple with a good degree and strong grades will put you head and shoulders above the pack.
I am a Finance major myself. If I could give any advice is pick your concentration of studies that will provide you with the income you desire. There are few people in this world that their passion is the same as their career. Most have a career as a means to an end.
I know this is not you...but, don't get a degree in secondary education if you want to live in a million dollar house with all of the trappings that go with that life style. One way is to pick a tough and sought after education such as an attorney, doctor, etc that puts the odds in your favor as Frank stated. That is not to say you can't make a truck load of cash doing other things. I know of plenty of people with business that you would not take a second look at, slapping the ball out of the park.
Find a successful Mentor doing what you want to do and ask if you can work for him for free. The knowledge and expierence that you will gain for that person will benefit you like you cannot imagine. If you make yourself envaluable to him/her. You get to meet his friends and clients. Network, network, network. If you are doing a good job they will feel inclined pay you as well.
When it comes time to graduate, I have found that it is still as much as who you know as what you know when getting jobs, opportunites or promotions.
