<p>Does anyone who majors in philosophy, or classics, or the history of science, or any of the other fascinating subjects young people choose to study in college, ever hear the “backup plan” question? I always wonder. I really think it’s a knee-jerk response that contains a lot of jealousy (as well as other feelings). Acting and theater is such an amazing combination of history and psychology and literature and dance and music and art…I think it’s a great subject to major in, with tons of possibilities. </p>
