Hey guys, I was a political science major, but I want to change to something I really like. I don’t know what the major is called, but here Is what I want to do and hopefully you guys can help me. Im transferring to a University in Los Angeles.
I’m good at photoshop, video editing, and love social media (marketing?). I’m a music producer and I love creating an alias and making a brand out of it. Im creative, and a computer worker. I’d also love to learn artist management and anything around that. What major could I go in to?
It’s not so much the major as the career. There are lots of majors you could go into with your interests - graphic art, digital media, music production, music management, computer science, human-computer interaction, marketing.
The question is really what kind of career do you want? Because there are a lot of potential careers in there. You could do marketing with the first set of interests, or you can do social media development (e.g., imagine being the person at Facebook responsible for the interface design or for making sure sponsors’ videos show up right). You could go into music production and business. You could become a manager or go into A&R at a music company. There are lots of potential careers in that list that you gave.
You can work backwards a little from there and pick a major based on that. I would suggest going broad; most colleges don’t have a music business/management major, but you can easily find a business major and minor in music. Or a business major and minor in computer science. And so on.
