the major dillemma
a combination of scoring music for the screen and screenwriting? or a career in diagnostic medicine?
those are really my two ideas for what i'll do with my life. let me explain the two before i ask you to help me make a decision...
the screenwriting/screen music major
this is the major i've been thinking about for a long, long time. essentially, this is a combination of screenwriting and scoring music for the screen. pretty straight forward, right? what i want to do is find a way to integrate them better. make movies so that the audience isnt only driven forward through the movie by the action and words on screen.
a lot of people will argue that this already happens, but i want to take it to the next level. make make them so involved with each other that neither can actually stand on their own. take it beyond the level of complimenting each other and make them part of each other.
the diagnostic medicine type major
this is the relatively new major that i've come to rather enjoy mulling over. for those of you who havent seen House, M.D. (tuesdays at 9 on FOX), diagnostic medicine is pretty much the medical field that was tailor-made for me. essentially, you examine someone, find out what their symptoms are, and diagnose it. seems simple, right? it's not.
you have to pretty much know everything about all the fields of medicine. you have to be tons of doctoral fields all wrapped into one. but the thing is, you dont treat, you just tell what's wrong.
seriously, isnt that perfect for me? essentially, i have to know everything and and problem solve. i can totally create a major for that. all i have to do is create a problem solving major that coupled with bio courses. not too bad, right?
the part where you input your thoughts
this is the part you've all been waiting for, right? this is the part where you tell me what you think would be a better career for me. take your time. dont make a rash decision. dont just do something because you like it better. seriously, tell me what you think i would be good at, and what i wouldnt be as well. give me reasons if you have em. and if you dont, that's totally okay.
will this have any bearing on what i choose? who knows, but it'll be nice to know what everyone thinks. and the truth of it is that it probably will have a huge input on what i choose. more than even i realize.
so help me out, and have some fun with it..
and before you even do anything, thanks!
