I read the essay, and now I’m not so sure if double major is right for me.
I think I’m maybe more of the “Howard” type of student David Lane writes about, but I’m still scared of not having financial stability post-grad. To me, financial stability is a high priority, and the job market for music majors isn’t exactly attractive in that sense, according to almost every music teacher that I’ve ever had.
You mentioned that music majors have access to grad and professional schools. Could you elaborate more on that? (Wouldn’t a music major be lacking in much of the prerequisite knowledge useful to a grad degree that a B.A./S. would provide?)
