<p>Just adding a thought in response to something compmom said about the recession. After everything that has happened with the banking sector and U.S./global economies, I have read that fewer college students are interested in majoring in fields like economics right now. But having also read about so many people losing their high paying jobs, and your still feeling confident about getting an entry job with bachelor’s degree in economics that would pay $60,000-70,000, I was impressed. </p>
<p>Putting your interest in music aside, I would suggest that you ask yourself if under any circumstances you could imagine yourself working in a field that would use your economics degree. Because if you put that aside for a few years to devote yourself to something else like music, and it doesn’t work out for whatever reason, could you imagine going back to the world of business/finance (or whatever economics majors do) and would your economics degree have the “shelf life” so that you could step back into that? Or would you want/need to do something else all together. I am not trying to discourage your interest in a music career, just important to think all these things through.</p>
