I have my Bachelor's in Computer Science. I work at GameStop. :/

>>3488600
clever troll is clever. She posted that info earlier today on fb. OP is not really Laura. GTFO.

>>3488600
Miyu posts here under the name "me-you". Try again.

>not really caring if it's actually Miyu or not

I went to school for Industrial Design (product design), but bailed to Arts and Technology (some video editing, horsing around with projectors, meh major), and I'm currently gradschoolin' for Education Technology. Which is basically "heres how your school/company/whatever are sucking ass at something, let's build a tool to teach em to suck less at it."

And I work part-time as a camera operator for a company that films and and streams high school sports stuff live.

>>3488651
She only posted for a few days or something too, for that oil spill thread. This is a good topic though. I have an associate degree in graphic design. I want to go to Indiana and get another one in massage therapy since they have a school that offers it there. I don't want to go to any more school than I have to so I don't plan to get a bachelor's.
On a side note I think Miyu is looking absolutely gorgeous in OP. Good for her for going back to school. :3

my major is i have no major.

A 1st in Marine biology and oceanography, going to Japan next year as part of a research project, so yeah I guess I'm using it.

Philosophy of science/physics minor at MIT. I want to go to cambridge for my phd. We'll see about that *hopeful*.

>>3488693
What kind of research project if you don't mind telling us? That sounds interesting.
>>3488600
Ok the chick in that pic is fucking hot. If it's really her in op she needs to post more.

Double majoring in Neuroscience and Psycology.

Wewt...wewt....

>>3488701
WOW. You're lucky to be at such a good school.

Gonna graduate with a BA in Psychology in December! Then going on to get my Master's in Speech Pathology & Therapy.
I almost wish I'd started out in Speech Therapy, so I wouldn't have to waste time doing prerequisites.

>>3488703
you're obviously new here.

Graphic Design major, getting my BFA hopefully by the end of this year (I'm about six credits behind right now so I'm going to make it up during the winter break).

School doesn't start for me until the 8th

English major. Readers gonna read. I guess I'll be a teacher some day.

I'd like to pick up a degree for Illustration or something somewhere down the line.

>>3488708
Please don't say that. There are tons of idiots at MIT too. Also, I care a lot about my major, but no one at MIT actually cares about learning. There are TONS of bros there and bro wanabees. Everyone is an engineering major or pre-med and they only care about graduating.

I hate it there. Everyone thinks "oh i'm so cool because I'm a nerd!!11 but I'm still cool at the same time. So random XD! see!". "Oh, haha I made a science joke! and I love big band theory (which I find to be the most offensive since I actually appreciate physics, UGGHH).

I'd rather be with my bf at brandeis. ;_;

i intend on going to cosmetology school next semester and i will hopefully one day bring home in decent money from high-end salon/freelance work. my dream would be creating/designing fashion shoots for magazines or something but i want to keep my goals realistic

finished my Digital Media Arts diploma back in April. (DMA= video editing/storyboarding/web design/scripting in the coding sense/audio editing/motion graphics). I'm now working full-time at a web design studio and part-time at an advertising agency.

you're going to be poor for the rest of your life, charlotte/bats

Environmental Science. Haven't decided if I want to focus on botany or marine biology yet.

Working Political Science/Women' Studies double major, aiming for JD/LLM in feminist legal studies.

>>3488743
>Working on

>>3488738
Marine biology. Join us.

>>3488733
i am not bats but i have several friends that have come right out of cosmetology school making $40k a year. i am going to a cheap school to get my license ($5k) because your license does not say where you graduated from and the school is only there to teach you what you need to pass your exam. also places like toni&guy want people that are fresh out of school because they don't get caught up in learning bad habits working at places like procuts. i am sure the road is rocky at first but as long as i can sell myself and build up a clientele i think my creativity/artistic background will get me somewhere. if it ends up not working out at least i only paid $5k for the license

>>3488766
Well, you never were destined for an intellectual career I can tell.

>>3488768
i was an honors/AP student

finished my degree in engineering several years ago. still don't have a job.

Cosmetology.

Currently an undergrad history major, minoring in French.

>>3488733
Not really.
My boyfriends mother makes over 1k a week doing hair and nails.

spoony thread?
spoony thread.

sage for troll OP

Still an undergrad. Major: Psychology/Communications. My grad will be in Public Health or if I go with psych all the way it will be Developmental Psychology.

I work in the Library at the Periodicals desk currently and in the spring I have an internship with a local publishing company for Young Adult writers. I am not editing, I am an events coordinator and will give speeches to the young authors :)

Dual major in Anthropology/Archaeology. Always wanted to be Indiana Jones. Applying to UPenn and UChicago for masters.

Art with a concentration in Design... if I'm still lifeguarding after I graduate I will be very sad

Freshman at Bryn Mawr, which nobody except the bigwigs have really heard of. I still love it anyways. If this ROTC thing works out, I'll major in Russian. If it doesn't, and I can still afford to go to my horrifically expensive school, I don't know. I like the looks of geology, though. I'm worried about finding the major that fits me.

Computer Science/English.

Have a bachelors degree in Multimedia & Design. Landed a job with a small marketing firm, been nice.

Finished. BS in compsci.

I'm a video producer now.

Your major generally has very little to do with what you end up doing in life.

fine arts major. concentration in printmaking/ papermaking.

>>3488724
My sympathies. Sounds like a lot of people at my school too, but it really varies from major to major. The first thing you realize is that Elite school=/=Everyone is a passionate, driven genius.

degree in photojournalism

feelsgoodman.jpg

Special Effect's makeup artist. Got to go back and finish.

Nursing major here. 2 more years to study until I get registered, then work some and pay the bills, then go for Masters and become an NP.

[spoiler]I'm male[/spoiler]

BFA in Graphic Design. I currently work in a shoestore while trying some place that wants graduates in town. Shit sucks.

I am starting to doubt the quality of my portfolio as well.

>>3489229
*trying to find

Considering moving though.

BFA in Technical Theater. Specialization in Costume Design and Construction.

read: Professional Sequin Gluer

My classes only start in October, I think. Or maybe in the middle of September.

I'm studying Veterinary Medicine and hopefully this will be my last year.

inb4 "omg I wanted to be a vet so much, I love animals".

>>3489240
Just checked it... Classes start on the 20th. Great.

Getting my Bachelor's of Social Work, looking to get a work-study job at Jumpstart, a program for kids from low-income families to get tutoring, but I just submitted my information today, so we'll see. I'm super fucking stoked to finally go to a real university, everyone wears a school shirt. *_*

Going to finish Illustration, mom wants me to go into Graphic Design/Arts and I'm thinking about it. Really want to get into textiles and design patterns.
I work at a library currently. Nothing is used to put books away.

I plan on becoming a Registered Nurse.
I'm already pretty well rounded in the medical field (as much as I can be for not being in the medical field yet)
I can't wait to through out my random medical knowledge, and then when I'm a nurse and people say I'm wrong I'll finally be able to say "No, I'm right, I'm a nurse"
right now I can't really back anything up.

I just started college. Majoring in art education with a minor in art history.

I want to be an elementary school art teacher. And I really would love to illustrate children's books. Dream big.

Today was my first day back at school too! I'm only in ym second year, but I'm a Sociology major (specifically interpersonal and family relations).

Chances are, I will never make that much money, but I'm ok with that because I really just find humanity fascinating and want to do my best to help people.

...and now I wonder why I'm browsing /cgl/.

I had my first day last week. I'm a geology major.

Political Science. Slowly working on my Bachelor of Education as well. I want to either teach or get involved politics. ~dream big.

>>3489295
have fun babysitting kids while they splash paint all over your tits

"dream big" ololo

Third year Neuroscience Major.
Im in New Zealand so ive got half semester left before I Graduate.
Then onto postgrad... *Sigh*
But I dont think i would get a job anywhere with just and undergrad, and at least its kinda interesting.

College started almost two weeks ago for me. I'm getting my Masters in English. My Bachelors is in Visual Art and I'm an English teacher. So yeah.

Not in college yet, but I'm going to major in nursing.

Got my BS in Electrical Engineering last year, and I work in designing safety controls for nuclear power plants, so I still use some of my education on the job. However, most of any job you take is going to be 10% what you learned in school and 90% what you learn through on-the-job training.

Probably going to go back for a masters in engineering if my job helps pay for it

Double majoring in art/art history and English. Had two retail jobs for the summer but one was temporary and I quit the other. Hoping to find some work on campus in the fall.

Urban Studies major here. I go to Ohio State, one of the top schools in the country for Geography programs and Urban Studies is in the Geography program. I'm considering applying to a batshit number of grad schools with the hope a 3.3 and internships will get me accepted at places like Columbia, Cornell, Maryland, Illinois, UCLA, Michigan, and VTech. I'm also getting a minor in City & Regional Planning. Basically class don't start for another three weeks.

I've could have gone to Colorado or Penn State, but who knows...

I have a bachelors in philosophy and history, and I work in a costume shop. Obviously not a career path but its fine for now.
Next year I'm going back to uni part time to get a diploma in Russian with the intention of earning a paid scholarship to Central Asia. Again, I question whether this will bring me any career gains, it's just something I want to do.

I'm starting my first year at Memorial University in Newfoundland next week. I'm nervous as fuck.

>>3489643
I have a question about urban studies. How well do you think having a minor in urban studies will work with a social work degree. I haven't decided on a minor yet and I'm leaning towards either urban studies, sociology, or psychology in order of highest to lowest.

>>3489668
I think you should major in having a shotgun inside your mouth.

>>3489668
See if your college offers some urban geography courses. They delve into topics such as community capacity, empowerment, and sometimes sociology. I'm reading a book right now called 'Streets of Hope' which is about a underprivileged neighborhood in decline in Boston and how the people came together.

Book on left was a book used in my urban geography class back in the winter. Which delved into those such topics I said above.

BFA in animation.
and it's pretty useless.

>>3489692
I'll have to see if urban studies minor is an option for the social work kids, but that's sounds like something I'd like to do. Thanks for the info!

I've fucked over the studies I have attempted since I'm out of high school because of social anxiety.

I don't know what to do now... But I don't want to have a shitty life. :(

my classes start tomorrow but im getting a degree in business administration. I work for a bank right now, so i kinda use my education and what im learning there about half the time, so it helps.Although the bank has been iffy about my class schedule since they dont like part timers too much, so may have to find a job elsewhere.

>>3489540
>>3488704
You two should have brain babies.

double major: anthropological linguistics and computer science. sophomore year. graduate school=computational linguistics with anthropological spin.

>also i am insane

Majoring in physics, double-minoring in visual art and women's studies.

ITT idiots talk up their pseudo knowledge. This isn't /r9k/, we can drop the act guys...

Fashion and Retail Studies at Ohio State. I'm going into my fourth year on the 22nd

(I think I should add a minor or something though. I have a long wait for some of my classes - maybe french or theater)

>>3489643
Hello fellow Buckeye

I'm a freshman. I'm doing community college fort wo years and my major will be "liberal arts"
Once I transfer, I'm changing it to illustration/communication arts

I am working on my B.A. in Graphic Communication Technology at the Universitiy of Northern Iowa and already have my A.A.S. in the field. I may want to get my Masters ~someday~ but for the time being, I am just focusing on getting my B.A. and getting the fuck out of Iowa.

picture highly related. It is how I feel after being behind a computer for most of the day working on projects. But thankfully this term my courses focus on the business side of the degree. My eyes can recover from the monitor strain.

>>3490261
btw, want to clarify: I love being behind computers and doing design work. but my eyeballs hate me for it.

>>3488977
bryn mawr is an all girls high school here in baltimore...

I have a BA in music performance...i play the drums, I do not use the degree. I tryed for a while but I got hungry

Working on a BA in Fashion Textiles.

Yes useless degree, whatever. With my ills I'll be lucky if I can work realistically anyway.

>>3490336
Mm, drummers. :3 HIIIII.

>>3490208
I had a good time in my theatre class. I got an A-. I cross dressed as a part of our play group assignment. Good times.

>>3489288
the average for the nursing class is a 3.7 (science mainly, art classes and stuff like that are not counted). You have to be pretty smart to get in.

>>3490359
I am very smart.

>>3490384
what's your gpa? This isn't just memorizing. You get scenarios and you have to think critically about what is best for you to do first and how would you follow that plan. Most answers are right, what they care about is which action is the immediate action and which ones go after that in order.

Going into second year physics after transferring from engineering. I'm pretty fucking excited. :3

>>3490404
Since I only just started my pre-reqs, and it's my first semester I don't have one. My last high school GPA is a 4.0 (I never got my overall since my high school never sent my transcript to me, or my college)
I know what you have to deal with when being a nurse, my mom is one, her best friend is one, one of my best friends is one. I know what I'm in for, why are you trying to talk me out of it? I've been wanting to be a nurse since I was a little girl.

Started school today. Majoring in Fashion Design at Otis College of Art and Design.

This is my first year~

I'll be going into my first year of a FdA in Commercial Photography (planning to do a top up year). I really need a part time job, so hopefully either a clothes store (so I can get discount on clothes which is a bonus for photography and me), or a photography store. Chances are I'll be working at a food shop that's quite close to the house I'll be living in. Everyone seems to find it weird I'm doing something arty when I was one of the top students when I did my A levels, and chemistry was one of my best subjects. Funnily enough one of my chemistry teachers and my art teachers had an argument about me because of this and my parents are a little iffy. However I may stand a chance of not being a homeless bum as I've been helping a make up artist set up a portfolio and she has A LOT of contacts.

>>3490436
>>(I never got my overall since my high school never sent my transcript to me, or my college)

wuuuuuuut...

>>3490436
geez, don't get defensive. I am just being realistic and giving you some info. Isn't it better to know what to expect? As long as you manage to keep your gpa high (in the classes that matter) and never drop blow a 3.5 you'll do fine.

>>3490469
I went to a high school in the sticks, I could tell you everyone's name in my senior class and at least one fact about them.
The high school was horrible and the kids were horrible.
Even the teachers sucked. I was in the hospital and missed a lot of school, the teacher ended up failing me because he had a rule that if you miss more than 12 classes you get an automatic F.

>>3490487
what else was I suppose to think you were doing? I know what to expect, pretty much everyone had told me 20 times each what to expect. Right down to the mass amount of Filipino girls in the program.

>>3490492
it just seems weird, because any college requires proof that you graduated high school or have gotten your GED.

how in the world did you enroll?

Biology major, going into my 2nd year, the class load is really hard, but it feels good that I didn't talk myself out of doing this because I didn't think I'd make it.

>>3490534
I have a diploma, just no transcript.
It's a junior college since I don't want to spend 30+ grand a semester when I can get the same education for 18 dollars

>>3490554

They didn't require your transcripts? What the hell? You must be going to a pretty damn shifty "college".

>>3490563
You can apply to junior colleges and community colleges willy-nilly. You can even do con-current enrollment when you're in high school. They don't need it when you apply, but if you want to get into higher classes, and apply for certain things such as scholarships you need to show it to them.

not all JCs aren't bad schools at all, I know someone who was already enrolled at a State school and left and went to a JC and said it was one hundred times better.

>>3490554
just make sure that shit doesn't come back to bite you in the ass.

you think you are all fine and dandy, and then one day you wake up and find out your student status has been put on hold because your have missing documents.

something similar happened to me the other day, where I got a voicemail that my school never received my MMR inoculation records. If I do not get them faxed to them by the end of this week, I will be fined $40 and will not be able to register for classes next term until I get shit sorted out.

and they never told me I needed to submit this stuff when I filed my transfer papers in April. wtfman wtf.

/endrant.

>>3490582
My high school told everyone they would send a copy of our transcripts to your home and the college you told them to.
I was never sent mine, which sucks because I was planning on applying for a scholarship that's due tomorrow and I need it. The high school just got back in session today so I haven't been able to call them about it.

>>3490579
when I did my gen eds at my local community college, they required my HS transcripts and 5 types of identification. But I guess every school is different.

also, I agree, some community colleges are a shit ton better than larger Universities. I saved myself a ton of money by getting my A.A.S. at a community college and transferred to a 4yr to finish the remaining 2 years to work on getting my B.A.

>>3490208

do you have a coscom?

>>3490601
shit son, thats a lot of bs you had to deal with. You have to apply online for the one I go to.
The JC I go has been used in movies since it looks more like a Universities than some Universities.

>>3490554

$30 000+/term? I'm loling at this. I go to a world-ranked university and it only costs me $3000/term. :3

>>3490614
what University do you go to? the average is about 7gs a term for in state and 17 for out of state.
or are you not from the US?

>>3490630

I don't live in the US.

>>3490633
what kind of currency are you talking in then?

>>3490644

CAD.

>>3490653
Canadian universities are generally much cheaper than American ones.

That and our healthcare.

>>3490662

I know; I kind of just felt like rubbing it in their faces. >.>

BC is cheaper than Eastern Canada, too. :D

>>3490670
Come on, our countries are supposed to be bros. Gotta be nice, it's part of our reputation.

And hey man, I'm in eastern Canada. U of T is good though.

>>3490680

*sigh* If I must.

I got in to U of T (lol like it's hard to get in to Canadian universities), but I decided to go to UBC instead. I'm pretty pleased with my decision; I love it. :)

>>3490670
I'll probably only pay 18 dollars for my semester.
fee wavierssss. Suck it Canaderp.

I got my degree in Print Journalism in December 2009, and I just started using it at my local newspaper this past week. Feels good, man.

I love how you morons keep listing off your majors like you think anyone is listening or cares.

Got my BFA in graphic design at an in state university.
Moved back home to save money in order to move to NYC.
Currently working for Starbucks, but also freelance every once in a while for the design firm I interned at or other clients. I also do personal projects, and I also had my thesis featured on GameSetWatch.
I am moving to NYC in less than two weeks to finally start the job hunt.

>>3490758
Hey, OP asked first.

>>3490758

I actually think this is pretty interesting.

>>3490764
goodluck!

do you have any specific places you will be job hunting at?

>>3490787

I have a few "dream firms" that I may look in to, but honestly I'll probably just look into what positions are available for less experienced designers. I did talk to this one customer at work that is a big time architect and told me of some large architectural firms that have really good graphic design positions as well.

The more opportunities the better. It's so competitive up there!

>>3490787

Also, good luck to you too! I completely understand the whole "wanting to get out of your home state" mentality.

Going to school for Industrial Design and I dunno if I want to have a design job when I graduate. :I

I did my Associates in Art and Design with a fashion focus at Central Saint Martins in London. I was accepted on the Fashion Print BA after graduating but transferred to PDP at CSM. Now I'm in my final year of BA (Honors) Performance Design and Practice.

I work on the side as a freelance costume designer and occasionally as a make hair/up artist. As it stands now, I've got six films (two feature) and five music videos to my name. I'd like to stay in the UK but there isn't a great deal of money to be made, and have the feeling that I'll end up in LA sooner or later.

Pic related, it's the first film I ever worked on.

>>3490891

I hear that's a tough major :( good luck.

Meh, out of high school and I'm not in college yet because I don't know what to do.

I was thinking about library science, but apparently you need a bachelor's in whatever before getting a master's in it. Problem is is that I'm not sure what I want to major in before then. I was kind of thinking about majoring in business since my mother keeps nagging me about it.

Another idea was majoring in web design and/or graphic design.

Chemistry or Chemical Engineering

Lots and lots of school for me!

>>3489280
THat's cool! My roomie did work-study at Jumpstart last semester (I think she's still doing it...). She really loves it and even though she's got a demanding major (Some sort of engineering) she's never so drained to the point of being miserable, even after classes and work. I'm sure it varies from area to area, but it seems like her Jumpstart kids are great. I hope you get the job and enjoy it!

>>3490992
for fuck's sake DO NOT DO LIBRARY SCIENCE!
my brother just graduated from that, he cannot find shit!
he's going back to do computer science now.

>>3491013
>>3490992

what on earth is library science?

>>3491019
dewey decimal.

but yes my brother applied to a west and east coast elementary library to public to middle, to high, to college, and medical libraries and was rejected by all.

his classmates cant find shit either.

I am doing a BA majoring in History and Cultural Studies.
I might do an honors year afterwards but not sure yet

>>3491030

Well, I know that most jobs for public schools also require a teaching degree. Places like medical libraries also require prior knowledge about the specific topic or something as well.

If I did end up taking that course, I was just going to try my luck with regular public libraries :/

It's weird that your brother or his classmates can't find any jobs though... I heard that the next couple of years were supposed to be when a lot of positions opened since a lot of people in the field were retiring... But I guess that was wrong.

>>3491096
they lie babe.

it's like 1 old person retiring from a whole public library.... in the middle of fucking nowhere.

my brother did have an intern in some small town next to the border.

he finished it but thats when he decided he needed to do something else.

>>3491146

I see.... Argh! That doesn't help me out at all then u_u;
I suppose I'll try web designs then, but I don't know much about school or anything for it since that was something I recent;y came up with DX

>>3490841
>>3490879
I am hoping that the job market will pick up within the next two years. So When I graduate, I will have some variety in regards to available jobs. I am going to be so fucking pissed if that whole "2012" bullshit turns out to be true.

oh, and everyone in Iowa wants to get out of Iowa. Unless you are content with farming, being a housewife with 3 kids or being stuck in a dead-end job.

>>3491182
DO NOT TRUST MY WORD ON IT!
i do not want to destroy your future just because what someone said on the internet.
This is from my brother's experience, not yours.
it's up to you to decide what you want to be.

From MY knowledge, jobs in the creative department (art, design, writing,etc) is going to be competition and being noticed for your work. Very slim job opportunities.

any sort of civic, education job is going to be average growth (teachers, government jobs, social worker, therapist). if you are going to become the teacher, do the hard stuff, cause no one else is willing to teach it.

Science and Tech i would think would be above-average growth. BUT everyone is doing it, so it's competition. A lot of my friends are engineer majors and they are having a difficult time finding jobs.

Healthcare, big demand, of course with the amount of baby boomers shriveling up and dying. There are a lot of opportunities in this, jobs with few educational requirements (mostly assistants, technicians), with moderate pay.

Business, I really don't know shit about it.
I always thought of it just being "people who major in it really do not know wtf they're doing in life", cause most business majors i have talked to felt dead end and shrugged.

but remember taking the more disciplined road definitely pays off.

>>3491336
>>jobs in the creative department (art, design, writing,etc) is going to be competition and being noticed for your work. Very slim job opportunities.

honestly, when it comes to web design specifically, there seems to always be someone looking to hire you if you know at least the basics. It tends to get more competitive when you move to larger markets in bigger cities. But at the same time, you are presented with more job openings.

Initally started out at a 4 year with a Liberal Studies major. Despised the school and I left. Now I'm a History major but I want to change it to Humanities because I'm also interested in arts and literature.

I just don't know how to make it a career beyond teaching, though. I definitely would like to have a job in the museum field...

>>3491295
>Iowa

Thanks for giving me ze diarrhea with your eggs.

Going for Associates in arts and sciences after this year and then majoring in politics for my bachelors. If I'm really bored and want to put myself in debt for life, I might go for law.

Don't start till the 10th for this fall term

Spending my first year here.. College seems like it's going to be loads better than high school but I'm still scared since I don't know anyone. D; Anyone else currently going/have graduated from here?

>>3491469
what are you taking at Sheridan?
I went there for about 3 weeks and left to go to Seneca instead.

>>3491336
>>3491389

Alright... Thanks for the info and your inputs!
Still not quite sure what I want to do, but this helped a little.

My major is not flashy or impressive, neither is my ideal future career.

I'm a business major, getting my degree so that corporate retail establishments will pay me far too much to tell other people to do their jobs.

I just want to get high up in the retail chain, district manager is my goal. In the company I have a job lined up for, district manager makes $200k+.

I used to want to be an artist and go into graphic design, everyone I knew told me to go that route, follow my dreaaaam.

...then I realized I only dream of money

>>3491496
art fundies lol. :\
why'd you leave for seneca?

>>3491519
ha, I took Art Fundies too (at Seneca though), before heading into Digital Media Arts. You might feel different about it, and I don't want to scare you. lol.

The classroom sizes were huge at Sheridan, about 50 students and 1 teacher, where Seneca is more like 30:1. The teachers seemed out of date where all of my teachers at Seneca still have full-time jobs outside of teaching.

Don't worry though, Sheridan is a great college. I decided that it wasn't what I was looking for, it might be different for you.

Good luck with school! :D

I miss school. Even finals were more interesting than job hunting.

don't give up, anon. I job hunted all summer and wanted to die. got laid off, went completely broke, fell behind on a couple bills - but then I scored a job in my field where I'm using my degree and finally starting my career. after six months of working in a meaningless office job and two months of being laid off...I finally got a job in my field. try to stay positive, I know it's hard but trust me I have so been there.

Music Theory and Education. My dream is to compose music for video games and movies but for a back up plan, I think I rather teach music to high school students. I think it's good to pass musical knowledge to the next generation.

All my college friends that have degrees in fine/graphic arts all have pretty kick ass jobs now. the pay isn't 'awesome' but their all happy with what they do.

I wanted to go to a music college (been playing clarinet for 10 years and I'd like to join an orchestra) but I have no money for it as well as not being that great with music outside of playing it, so I decided to settle on joining public playing groups instead.

Right now I'm stuck at a community college with no music programs aside history starting next semester, so I'm getting a degree for art and transferring to an art school (shooting for Montserrat) later.

I'd rather have a job that uses a hobby that I love than anything else. And if you're an artist that does independent work like commissions you know that you're going to make the customer happy for giving them something that they want.

That's my take on it anyway. Or my mantra so I don't go insane for choosing to go for a degree that won't get me much.
