<p>I agree. I am totally happy with my D2’s decision to major in theatre, just as I am with D1’s decision to major in lab science (in which she almost assuredly will need a graduate degree for job enhancement, so …?).</p>
<p>The only think I would discourage my D2 from doing is getting a certification in Theatre Education (which at a number of schools is offered secondary to the Theatre major). If she does an education degree, either as part of undergrad or as a Master’s, I would strongly urge her to get a broader certification, since I’m sure theatre-specific teaching jobs will be increasingly scarce. Otherwise, I am telling her to go for it, whatever she wants to do theatre-wise.</p>
