Wedding Planning

I am a junior in college majoring in criminal justice, I`m graduating next yr. And found myself interested in the field of wedding planning. I planned to go to graduate school and major in sociology. My question is, would this degree also be beneficial b/c it examines societies and groups of people, or would event planning be best? Not to be personal, but how much money could one aquire within this business? Does a degree give individuals a higher salary?
