Prof here. I've been watching a lot of content from this channel, and I just want to remind everyone that college should be fun. In fact, it should be a lot more fun than your career. So? If pursuing your chosen degree just stresses you out or if it brings you no joy...can you expect your working life to be better? You don't have to be passionate about your work, but you should be able to derive joy from it. Everyone has to work, but I believe everyone who can should try to pursue a career that pays you more than a salary. So, if you COULD be studying something that brings you more joy, why not pursue it?

Since I was little I kept being told that having a career in performing arts is too risky and it's better to keep it as a hobby because I might not be good enough to compete with other artists.

[@yareyaredaz3522]

Having stable future and good job opportunities is far more important. What ever you do your job wont be the reason you're happy. What you do with the rest of your time is. And for that you need money.

[@lilgrannyari]

@@yareyaredaz3522 I should preface that I work in the US and am speaking about opportunities that exist in that country. Individuals can grow wealth with or without a college education. There are many pathways that lead to financial stability. That many of the wealthiest individuals in our society do not have traditional college degrees is an oft-mentioned anecdote. In my experience, students often choose to pursue a college education because there's a particular career they want to go into. They may have different motivations for choosing that career, and I'm not so naive to think that only few students make that decision based on the potential financial return from a corresponding career. However, if you're working towards that degree and subsequent career and are completely miserable, you ought to consider your other options. Do you have to put yourself through decades of suffering to achieve a specific quality of life? I am so disheartened to see so many students tunneling on specific majors that only bring them despair when they might consider others that they may find more enjoyable and which STILL allow them to achieve their wealth goals. Perhaps they might have less stress foregoing a traditional college education all together and pursuing those goals through other means? And I also think it isn't necessary for everyone to pursue a program of study or career that they are "passionate" about, as passions change. Rather, finding something to study that is interesting, brings more pleasure than pain, and is ultimately satisfying would be a much better use of all that time and money we put into our college educations.

[@yareyaredaz3522]

@@lilgrannyari I'd love to give an elaborate and well though answer to you because you raised a lot of very good conversation points here but I'm pressed on time so I'll make it brief. I study Physics in Greece. 4th best department of Physics in EU. I love physics its what I wanted to do. And I'm natural at it. But it's not the only thing that gives joy to life. Ultimately I'm far more cynical about work. It's a means to an end. You do it so you can have a decent income to travel, spent time with friends, not worry about bills and loans etc. Work is what helps you survive. The whole "I'm gonna be wealthy" narrative is a fairytale and completely unrealistic for 99.9% of the population. You need capital or dumb luck to make money. I've read these "entrepreneurs" stories. They did nothing spetial. They were just in the right place in the right time in history. Anyone could be at their place. Ultimately if you enjoy work that's a bonus but its not the norm for anyone. The important thing in life is when you get home to know everything is alright and that you have a place where you are happy with he right people. Chasing wild gooses trying to make millions is a sure way of wasting your life away. Because ar some point you may get sick and a few month latter you'll be drinking pints with satan. Life is short. Too bad the worldwide economy is so saturated with low income and low satisfaction jobs meaning no one gets to live before they die these days. Even in places like the US (well especially there. Even here in Greece with economic crisis people have better lives than the average american... no joke this is actualy true)

Based on this video, it seems like not many people major in anything related to the arts.

There’s a handful of creative/artistic people in the world, and it’s amazing how those handful of people get to showcase their talents to a broader audience. I’m also aware that many other people don’t get those amazing opportunities, and the main problem here is finances, which is very unfortunate.

@@theinvisiblewoman5709 unfortunately no, it only focuses on preforming, accompanying, chamber music and later teaching so the only way is to have two majors (which I wouldn’t probably manage)

[@theinvisiblewoman5709]

@@im.claire oh I see, you can’t take it as a minor or as upper division electives for your major? I’m just asking because I majored in biology (BS) and minored in philosophy and I was able to take a philosophy course on bioethics that counted towards my biology elective credits.

Theres a piano major?

No one asked me but I’m going to answer anyway, my major was psychology/criminology and if I had to pick another major it would’ve been English/writing because I think I would’ve liked to have been an author of fiction in another life

I'm studying fine arts, but if I had to choose a different major I woul love to be an English teacher (I'm Spanish, so like an Spanish teacher would function for English speakers) I actually almost went for it, but the moment I saw literature I was out lol

[@lanternwales6429]

Fr that's the one thing really stopping me from pursuing English as a major. Like i don't see the point of studying Shakespeare or some other ancient works. But I'm really into English you know, thinking about becoming a secondary English teacher.

quick tip, don’t major in plain “health sciences”. go for nursing or kinesiology because you can start working immediately after those, that way if you decide you don’t feel like going back to school, you don’t have to. also any advanced/masters degree you can get with a health sciences degree, you can also get with a nursing or kinesiology degree.

so many creative people being forced into the sciences because of societal pressure and the way they look down on creativity over logic. it’s good to have people in the science field but artists are geniuses too and they connect people rather than power lines and are equally as important just looked down on imo and it’s sad because people are forced to do something they don’t love so much. but i don’t know perhaps it is wiser pushing people to science.

The shameful thing here is, people are choosing earning income vs what they love to do. There is a lot of money for anyone who loves what they do because they would be the best at it. Think about it...you love it, so you will work your ass off and it won't seem like work working long and being very productive during those hours will be easy. Success is guaranteed to people that are in the work via perseverance.

[@zachb1706]

It's stupid to assume you'll be "the best" at anything. Because you won't. Statistically you won't even near. Also a lot of things like the Arts don't require a college education anyway. You're wasting time and money.

As for me, I'm currently majoring in tourims management, but if I had the chance to switch my major I would switching to Linguistics. I'd consider specializing in something within the realm of computational linguistics and machine learning like natural language processing or do field work and research. I'd even consider foreign language teaching. Langauges have always been my passion ever since I was very little and it intrigues me to learn how they work. Sadly, they don't offer that mayor where I live and I can't really afford to go to the US and get a degree there. I still haven't given up on that dream though :)

I mean majors like fashion and graphic design can definitely get you jobs, the job market is competitive but it’s not hopelessly so. Also having a drawing degree can make it easier to get under a tattoo apprenticeship, and good tattoo artists make bank. Making a career off of art isn’t nearly as unviable as people make it out to be tbh

[@cooldad9370]

I have a design degree and I’m currently working. The jobs are there! In fact, visual communication and design is in high in demand with how important social media and the internet is to marketing. You need to be able to create compelling visuals to set your brand apart and tell a story. You only think art is useless because they condition us to think that STEM is the only valid path that matters, which isn’t true. You can absolutely be successful in the arts without being a famous celebrity.
