Is studying at BIMM (music degree) a waste?

I'm totally confused as to what to do - I love music and I want to study it, but I also want a degree that means something. The Trinity course has a strong focus on classical music which I don't like it. I can also study French with it, which is safe and I have an interest in it.

The Trinity course has a strong focus on classical music which I don't like it. I can also study French with it, which is safe and I have an interest in it.

The course at BIMM looks interesting, but I'm not sure if it is a worthwhile degree. I want to be a singer of course, but I have realistic expectations about it. I'm afraid that after 4 years, I'll leave college with basically nothing. Because if I don't make a living out of music, which is hard to do, I have pretty much nothing else to do.

Can anyone help me out? I already dropped out once and I need to make the right choice.
