(no subject)
I'm really anxious about my options in majors and career paths.
Being so back and forth between stuff makes me feel like a flake. Then I just try and remember what I was told when I started college; that overall the average of major changes college students make is five. So if I were to change again, or even add something on, I would only be at four... so that puts me low.
First I came here to be a teacher and before signing switched to family studies, than back to teaching and am now toying with the Musical Theater option.
I'd be here less time if I just did Musical Theater.
I already feel like I wasted so much of my time on stuff that didn't end up being right for me. I also feel like I just wasted my parents money.
They are pretty supportive, my Mom more so than my Dad. My Mom just wants me to be happy and do what I want, no matter how long it takes me to figure it out. She pretty much figures the classes I have taken haven't been for nothing, they have taught me a lot, even if they aren't for what I will do for the rest of my life. My Mom just says she'll help me figure out student loans when it gets to the point that she can't afford to help pay for college anymore.
My Dad on the other hand gets mad that it's going to take me longer and automatically jumps to the conclusion that I just assume he will pay for me as long as it takes. I never assumed that, and it stung when he said it. I told him that that wasn't the case and Mom and I were already discussing student loan options and all my possibilities.
I want to do both Musical Theater and Education. I want the option of being a teacher should I just get sick of trying to get jobs in theater and not finding them...and to be able to sub while I audition. I want to be a teacher really badly, it's something I've always wanted to do, so to have that degree, whether I use it a lot or a little is something really important to me. But just as much so is the idea of a degree in Musical Theater.... I'd never feel like I was in class, everything would be so fun and something I always love and enjoy... not to mention being a part of the Musicals at CMU and getting the chance to do big theater stuff once I graduate. My voice instructor told me that Musical Theater major graduates from CMU get auditions for Broadway.
Anyways I just don't know what I am going to do.
If I do both I will be ancient in college age when I graduate. I wish DphiE had a policy like AGD, where you can go alum before you graduate, you just have to be in the group for so long... because then I would finish college faster because I would have time to take a zillion more credits a semester and get done with both degrees faster...not to mention not being much older than everyone else in the group.
Thoughts anyone?
