I think it depends on how close you are to finishing in digital graphics. It might be worth finishing it and then getting certified for chemical dependency counseling.

I say this because there is more than one way to do what you love in life. One way is to pursue it to the exclusion of everything else. In the case of chemical dependency counseling, this may result in you spending a good portion of your life destitute. Fulfilled spiritually but not substantively.

Another way is to pursue what you love as a sideline until you are good enough or in demand enough to take it full time. That's the method I usually vote for...

An article I found to be very helpful is the following: How to Do What You Love
