Hey everyone,
I’m about to begin my 3rd year in University and I’m running out of time to choose a major. I have no idea what major would suit me but I do have passions and interests. I spend several hours everyday making music with a continuing desire. Ranging from beat making, vocal recording, engineering, mixing and mastering. Before music occupied me, I spent literally all day everyday doing computer programming. I ran my own game servers and specifically did a lot of scripting, database management, web development and barely tapped into 3D Models but dealt with them a lot.
The common element that exists with my passions, including making music and games, is the computer. I have to use a computer to accomplish these interests so I got good with them, primarily in software. But I don’t want to be limited because of that. I don’t want to be at a desk job really to be honest. And I find it hard to envision myself working for someone else or even a large corporation as an end-goal. I know that I want to have something that’s my own and that’s successful. And if I can add to that, I’m a firm believer in “long-term” goals not having to cost a life-time in order to achieve. Selecting a major right now and thinking about going down this path makes me feel like it just won’t get me to my true desires. I don’t know.
I feel overwhelmed having to choose a major and I would appreciate anyone who’s willing to provide some support.
Thank you.
