<p>EmmyBet, I can assure you that I knew you were not critiquing a kid like my D2 who knew she wanted a BFA. I think most teens are not 100% sure and so a BA is really appropriate because it allows for changing minds and exploring options, which is what college is generally about! And if a kid in a BFA changes his/her mind, that’s OK too. </p>
<p>By the way, just because you do a BFA, it doesn’t mean you can only do one thing…perform. My D who got a BFA is performing but she also is doing well right now as a writer/composer, as well as a musical director. She is involved in several facets of theater.</p>
