Value in a BBA in Management or Marketing?

I've applied to my university to my university for fall readmission, thinking of pursuing a BBA. I'm halfway to a BFA in Photography, but I have no interest in finishing that. There's nothing I feel like I can gain from it - I don't want to teach (MFA path) or go into commercial work full time. And I no longer need the school's facilities to explore what artistic vision I might have. I could transfer many of those credits to a liberal art (English or History), which is a possibility. But that most likely leads to an MLS (two more years) or teaching. I'd love to teach, actually, and be an influence on kids in the way some of mine were, but I don't have the ability to deal with bureaucracy or lazy kids. My passions and interests are generally not things that require schooling (I can explore early-20th century anarchist movements sans professor), and despite the remnants of punk-rock antipathy to business I feel like a degree in it might be the best path. Skills in entrepreneurship, gaining some understanding of how office jobs work (I come from a social circle/family of small businessmen and blue-collar workers, there is literally no one in my life with a 9-to-5 office job). But I don't know - we're a fifth-tier national university in the University of Texas system, so I'm not getting a degree from U Mich or even UT. I don't know how applicable management or marketing is to the real world, am I setting myself up for a life of quiet desperation in middle management? I don't give a shit about making much money, I want to be happy and comfortable. I want to do things - not file TPS reports and dream of killing myself. I see myself as, if not the owner of my own business, someone with control over my duties rather than answering to an endless chain of people or worrying about careerism. I'm fairly intelligent (will not post SATs to prove size of e-peen) and a quick self-guided learner. My writing skills are rusty (thanks to e-mail and the Internets, and not having to write formally for art classes) but were far and away my strong suit once upon a time. I'm very much a problem solver type - I get bored when there's no application of what I'm doing to the real world or skills being learned. So I don't know - go for it, sell out/buy in, or stick to my hippie-queer comfort zone of liberal arts?

Question alluded to in title - is a BBA a meaningful degree? I always viewed it as the lazy man's 'serious' degree, the dumb jock equivalent of majoring in English. If it's no better than a history degree at getting my foot in the door or moving a possible career along, it doesn't do me much good.

Also, are there any good tests out there for skills/abilities/career paths? The shit I took in high school always told me to be a shrink or teacher. Not happening.

I don't know why I was coy about the school. UT-Arlington.
