When I went on to get my BS degree I set out in a whole different direction. I changed majors as a junior to Accounting (with a focus on Information Systems) & Computer Science. Huge change but it turned out great & I kept my music as a hobby & enjoyed performing in chamber groups while I actually ended up in a computer design engineering career.
It is important to look at the future possibilities when deciding what to focus career goals on & always remember passions like art don't have to be let go of. Talents always stay with us no matter what career we actually chose.

Thanks EskieLover! That is inspiring to me to hear you say that you chose to go into a field that would be profitable for you (and sounds like you like it too). I used to hear all the time "do what you love. follow your passion." That *can* be good advice. But not always, I have found, in terms of finding a career. I say "listen to yourself and learn about the way things work. And accept yourself."
