I have a passion for the arts, as well as helping people. What would be a good major for me?

Question

I have changed my major three times: education, english and social work.I was also tempted to go with art. I really want to just make up my mind, but it has not been easy.

Answer 1

Education or Music Therapy.

Answer 2

My advice from someone on the other side of the work years: go with a major that will get you a decent job, and study/perform on the side. Of the three you mentioned, I'd consider teaching.

Answer 3

what about a teaching degree and minor in art. try to find a job as an art teacher!

Answer 4

About 5 years ago, I was in the same situation. I was stuck between majoring in Acting with Business on the side, or vice versa. The day that I had to submit my final decision, I decided to be a grown up and change it to Business. I regretted this for my final year.

However, I am now working successfully as a Trainer for large corporations in the UK and am currently setting up my own company. I do community work on the side, when i have time. It gives me all the pleasure I need. I can earn good money and still give back to my community!
