I think you should pursue your education in a timely fashion...if you are sure you know what you want to do. Retirement is a long ways away, and between retirement you are going to have to work. So, the way I see it, I'd like to work a job I really love. I want my job to make me happy. I've seen people who have worked a job they hate for 30 or 40 years, and I've seen them retire with just enough money to get by, and they don't seem very happy. And then they die.
So, unless you plan on only working for a few years and retiring rich, I'd say go with schooling/job that you enjoy, take your time and enjoy life, and at the end of the day maybe you won't even want to retire.
Retirement...that's such a depressing thing to think about. After retirement comes death. Unless I had tons of money to stay busy 24/7, I'm not even sure I'd want to retire.
