<p>Everyone needs to make their own choices based on their interests and future plans. However, I do not agree that having a BA in a more traditional major necessarily makes you more employable than having a BFA in MT. With very few exceptions, an undergrad BA degree does not educate you or train you for particular jobs or employment. That’s what a grad degree is all about. Moreover, there are many jobs outside of performing for which a person with a BFA in MT is as qualified and as attractive as an employee as someone with a BA. In addition, I know several students who received BFAs who thereafter pursued “academic” or professional graduate degrees including law school.</p>
<p>The real isssue is how you want to spend your time in college and what type of focus do you want your college educational experience to have. Putting aside certain “specialty” BAs that are designed to train or educate a student for certain specific employment, a BA student does not have a material advantage, if any, over a BFA Mt student when it comes to job opportunities in more conventional jobs.</p>
