<p>Having a kid in each, I am ignoring this, lol. It’s sure to spark hours of bickering!</p>
<p>Oh no that was not my intention…just was hoping to inspire…</p>
<p>I know Bisouu. Just kidding.</p>
<p>Ha! I also have a business management major and a drama major graduating at the same time in spring 2014. (Not twins however. Just at different stages of their lives.) My business guy is a pretty non-typical personality for a business major and my drama & MT major is not really typical of his either. Hard to explain, but they are very simpatico in their views of the future. Business is business. </p>
<p>Elder brother is the biggest fan of his actor brother and would do anything to support his career. Perhaps a future talent manager? Ha, who knows. The skills from each major are significant; they are more trade oriented than not, in my opinion. Elder son says his business class colleagues do not always work hard enough and need more focus; his younger brother worries he won’t have the business skills to make the right decisions in the entertainment business without guidance.</p>
<p>I think they should team up. But I’m their mom, natch.</p>
<p>Curious.</p>
<p>great article. My son has already discussed #4 with me(reading the audience) and this article confirms my thoughts on a theater degree. I can see him picking up some of the other skills already too and 4 more years of acting will help refine them even more. That being said, if a theatre student can pick up some marketing classes to learn to market themselves better in the post college world and other business classes on how to run a tiny business on a shoestring and keep proper documentation on business expenses, those would be helpful as they will have periods of self employment post graduation. and i mean only look at those classes if time. Some of those basic business classes, as needed, should be available at community colleges after they graduate too.</p>
