I am so lost...

<p>I can't a decide what to. I'm currently a sophomore in college as a Graphic Design major.</p>

<p>My dream job would be to become an animator or professional artist, but I also would like a job that I enjoy and be able to live a comfortable lifestyle financially. I am not sure if I want to continue taking art classes when I could teach myself and build my own portfolio on my own, being able to have the choice to keep it personal or as a career. You don't necessarily need an art degree to work in the art world.</p>

<p>I've looked into French and Computer Science. I would major in computer science, but anything dealing with math past Calculus I truly frightens me, so I would settle to minor in it. A french major would also be a perfect alternative, but I hear foreign language majors aren't too effective and it's only wise to minor in it.</p>

<p>I've also considered Art or French education, but personally I feel like going through education classes would be a waste of money and I could just get teaching certification after college anyway.</p>

<p>However, the university I attend has a French major with a business concentration in it. I've considered this major because I can study the language I love, take some business courses, and I would probably minor in computer science, while still keeping art as a personal endeavor.
That way with this major, I can choose to go into either business or art school later on, depending if I really want art as my career or if I want to take a more practical approach somewhere else...</p>

<p>I'm not sure if this is a good decision, though. I'm still very conflicted on what to do! Basically I love art, french, and have a minor interest in computer science. I want a job I like but I don't want to be poor when I graduate.</p>

<p>What are some smart options I could do?</p>

<p>Do the things you love first, they can lead you in unexpected directions as well as land you where you want. You can sort out the job stuff when the time comes. If you don’t want to do computer science - the most easily outdated major there is - don’t waste your time on it.</p>

<p>I agree with alcibiade. Take care of your Graphic Design major. Having said that, computer science is a nice complement to graphic design. So a minor might not be a bad thing (the minors I have seen in CS require only Calc 1). Also, you can always take more CS classes later to augment your knowledge.</p>
