<p>gec414, I’m having the same dilemma. I love acting, but lately I’m considering pursuing another career while minoring in acting OR taking up outside training on the side. but I feel like I need to choose one path or the other now because it seems to me that at most colleges with great theater programs, it would be too late to decide to join the acting program in your sophomore year. …someone, feel free to let me know if that’s not true at certain schools. because if it isn’t, that’ll change a lot for me! haha.</p>
<p>SDonCC, I love that philosophy, but I’m not sure how to convince my parents about that, considering I don’t have any experience/supporting arguments. they think I must must must pursue a practical major that will guarantee a job. But I’ve read somewhere that a large majority of people end up working in fields unrelated to their majors? I’m not sure what the exact statistic was. Do you know what I might be talking about?</p>
