That was not what was meant. What is ironic, is that there are many, many people who study something, and never get the chance to do what they actually studied, for one reason or another.
If you study Computer Science with the goal to write websites later, then there isn't a problem. If you study CS because you dream of creating something that rocks the world ("Because everybody says that's possible if I do such and such"), then you'll probably be very disappointed.
Same with regard to studying the arts. Accomplished photographers often end up taking product snapshots, writers end up as writers of manuals, painters and musicians end up as teachers in their art instead of performers... not because they're not good, but just because they don't happen to be lucky enough to end up in the top few of the world. (Which can often be because they're just not discovered or something.)
