It does sound like incredible good fun, but as was stated before, it is not a degree you can readily make a living off of. Even what I am majoring in now won't assure me a job, and I'm probably going into teaching with a History degree. Major in the something you're good at that is most likely to get you work. Not that you should put aside screenwriting, I certainly haven't, but getting hired as a writer or getting something sold is like pulling teeth, often times very painful. And do you have any idea how much those masters credits cost? You'll definitely go holy shit! So anyway, I think what everybody is saying is keep writing, but get a masters in something that will possibly make money for you.
