Greetings! I am currently a high school student worrying about what I should do for making a living. While I am interested in creating logos for big enterprises and companies, I would also like to pursue in making music. I’m interested in putting my rap music out there so I can be a voice for those who struggle to speak for themselves, but I’m not too sure on what I should do. I’m inexperienced and am still in the process of learning about music. I do write as well, so I’m also wanting to become a part time author. Would it be too much to do these three things all at once? I am aware of how stress inducing it can be, bur these are my 3 biggest career dreams.
Logos: BFA/BA in fine arts, arts, graphic design, etc.
Music: BM/BA in music, composition, audio tech/engineering, etc.
Author: BA in English, Creative Writing, Journalism, etc.
All together: BA/BS in communications? Maybe?
If you are not already making music, I would not pursue a music major.
Rap music is something that you can do most likely using technology you already have…iphone, computer, youtube…if you haven’t started that already then I don’t think that is for you.
But if you like the industry of rap music and you like to write, you could write about rap music…review albums, write articles about artists.
If you like Logos and writing…maybe you might be in marketing or communications.
Maybe you could look into Music Management.
Writing/communications will give you a much broader background than graphic design.
But only you know what is the most important to you.
Maybe you look at studying Hip Hop culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip-hop_in_academia#College/university_programs_and_degrees
