<p>Well if it’s any consolation, the “howards” tend to be driven AND they tend to do well in the job market. Senior year my DD juggled a good job with an Engineering firm while finishing her BM and she is currently juggling three jobs (all music related) while finishing her MM. We know plenty of her contemporaries with pricey business degrees who are living on their parents couch, while she owns her own couch in her own apartment. It is about passion, focus and commitment. Three things you can attain if you are pursuing a degree in something you truly love. I do, however, think it wise not to accumulate debt in an arts degree —while you are starting your career after college , debt can be especially burdensome and affect your job choices.
