Your artisticness can be useful in expressing important things you have come to realize, though - a vehicle of important contributions.

We’re in agreement there and that’s precisely what I want to do. I never understood art for art’s sake.

I think having a planned-out future doesn’t suit you nearly as much as it does the average person.

Which is what you and Juillet above are helping me find out.

Have you taken a course in philosophy and, if so, what did you think of that?

Funny you say that, actually. Philosophy is the one class that I’m really looking forward to trying out when I get to college, but they don’t offer it or anything remotely similar at my school. As far as a philosophy major is concerned, which is where I think you plan on taking this, that had been my plan for a while. When I started my career/college search, I found that philosophy wasn’t a very good path for my career goals at the time. Since I’m on the professor track, I can see philosophy working better and since Juillet informed me that professors don’t often take time off between grad school and professorship, I probably needn’t be too worried about the marketability of a philosophy degree too much.
