It's the same reason I'm a mechanical engineer and not an English major. In college, you can take the easy road and go for the glory where your chances are next to zero, and a diploma won't end up getting you very far, or you can be a realist. I think you should abandon the acting dream and grow up.
As usual, your advice is pessimistic, and in this case, also based on presumptions. I do not do theatre out of a desire for wealth or fame. I do it because it keeps me in shape and helps me to be more sociable, which is an important skill for journalism. And if I am in a show, it provides me with a more structured schedule so that I become less likely to miss deadlines.
