Well, you could always major in something “intellectual” and minor in acting/theatre/whatever your thing is. That’s what my friend wants to do at WPI (and thank God for that. Nice kid, really does NOT have the talent to pursue a career in entertainment lol) you don’t HAVE to have a BFA to act.

If you enjoy theatre, is there a possibility you’d be interested in technical theatre? That’s a bit safer. That’s the route I’m going- although I never considered performing as a career, I switched from shooting for fashion design to theatre design. I’m a sophomore in HS now.

I have no idea how invested you are in acting or your level of talent so I really can’t say go for it. I mean, I know that even super talented triple threats may never make it so unless I know a person, I’ll always recommend going the practical route especially if you’re not 100% positive.
