<p>Very good points as far as exploring all the opportunities in colleges and within a particular field. Though, it seems as though there still is some choosing. While I see that it’s possible to pursue a conducting career and do community theater on the side, I didn’t get from your last post that it’s possible to have professional-level careers in both at the same time. Perhaps something that’s both a good thing and a bad thing about me and my personality is that when I want something, I have huge goals and want to go all the way with it. And I won’t stop until either my goals change or I reach my goal. (For example, when I was little, I didn’t just want to ride horses - I wanted to be a jockey racing horses at the Kentucky Derby. Things haven’t changed much as far as what I see for my future when I have a new goal in mind.)</p>
<p>And that, I suppose, is my concern.</p>
