Should you always finish what you start, even if it turns up that you stop wanting what you've been working for and want something else instead?
I'm halfway through a masters degree in government (main focus in US law), but now I'm thinking of switching over and applying to business school... does it look better to finish what you set out to do before starting something else, or does it look better to adapt to changing desires and follow a different path...

Its better to do waht you want to do in life. You can do everything you started. My cousin went to uni wanting to be a marine biologist, but she switched over to an art major after her first year.
Morale of the story, you wont always be happy finishing what you started.

If tuition and finacial security are not an issue, then I would say that a change may be the best thing if for you if there really is no way to get through what you are doing now.

Follow your heart. Don't waste time finishing something you're not feeling just to prove a point. Our time on this earth is limited.

I have a short attention span, so I say, if it feels good, do it.

I try and finish stuff.... but usually dont due to a short attention spam and a strong case of procrastenation (Probably sp errors)  |

Would you feel the knowledge from the course, should you pursue it be in any way useful to you? I mean, I should think that completing the course might be beneficial, but if you don't feel thats the case, then no point sticking to it.
Assuming you'd be doing the other course from the same Uni, there should be no hassles.

I always try to finish what I've started. When it comes to real important stuff, I'll stick it out until the end, if that's the better option. Smaller stuff I sometimes drift away from if I lose interest.
edit: I don't really know the answer to the second part. I'd guess that adapting to your situation might me the more favourable, but that'd be the blind leading the blind.
