| I once read in a book that if there is ANYTHING else in the world you could possible enjoy doing, do it. It's a tough business and it often comes with little or know rewards. It's true that there is no security, you never know if you'll be paid or how much you will make. If the possibility of being financially insecure is frightening, go with Education. The world needs more educators too, and you can find ways to endulge in your passions while still holding a career in a field that you find rewarding. Consider community theatres, you can still participate them after high school, and why not? Also, I have a friend who is double majoring in Theatre Ed and Elementary Ed so that she can integrate them together and start programs in elementary schools. There are lots of options out in the world, and if any of them seem like they could be remotely interesting and rewarding, pick that over theatre. But don't let go of those things you love, they're still there, you just have to be more creative about ways to involve them in your life.
Best of luck on your decision. |
