I personally don't think there is anything wrong with persuing the performing arts. There are so many off shoots that a person can end up being involved in when it comes to the performing arts. You could major in the performing arts and minor in psychology. And having a minor in psychology doesn't have to mean becoming a psychologist either. It is often helpful when pursuing a career in teaching and interacting with others. It really does take time for a person to finally realize what they want to be, that comes with experiencing life and being exposed to different things. You may end up becoming a producer or experiencing your love of the performing arts behind the scenes rather than being in the scene of being the performing artist.

I worked for a man who turned his love of performing arts and animals into becoming an animal trainer that trained animals to play different parts in the movies and the theater. He trained the dogs that were in Annie, remember Annie's dog? I spent an entire day in Manhattan with one of my ponies filming a segment of an off shoot of Sesame Street (this animal trainer did not have a pony and had heard about how nice my ponies are). I got to see how they actually have all the sets for when they do the puppets and I got to see a lot of different individuals that did all different kinds of jobs that revolved around the production of that TV series. Everything is up in the air, all the sets and the puppeteirs stand under the sets with the puppets. My pony had all this activity going on around her and she was GREAT with it all. I found myself wishing I had been exposed to that when I was younger because I would have loved involving my love for music, the performing arts, childhood imagination/creativeness and creating puppets and even loving animals and using them in creative ways. I did eventually do that and developed my own business.

Don't beat yourself for not quite knowing what you want to be in life "yet", allow yourself to get exposed to as much as you can that might have anything to do with the things you do love to do.
