About the Classics major. Since his ultimate career pursuit is as an opera singer, and since he wants to learn the basics of Italian, German, and French, he will pursue the Classical Civilizations track as opposed to the TRUE classics track that includes all the Greek and Latin. He wants to be somewhat of an “expert” in the field by the time he’s, like, 60 years old, just because he’s so very passionate about the subject and already reads a lot about that time period. If he has to fall back on it, he can easily see himself as a college professor on the subject, obviously with a lot more education under his belt. BUT, his primary focus and career goal is opera singing. He’s already resigned to the fact that Latin and Greek will not be in the cards, except for the very minimum required for the “civilizations” track.

Amazing commentary and considerations from all of you, though. THANK YOU! Keep it coming!
