<p>I wish to major in Drama and English [with a focus on drama and creative writing. Acting is my main passion. I was thinking I could get work as an editor or in the administrative sector of a theatre company or even as an actor. </p>
<p>Please refrain negative feedback about my major choices, i.e. "you'll never get a job with that, major in something legitimate," unless you feel like your advice is useful.</p>
<p>Anyway...</p>
<p>I graduated high school last year. I then took a "gap year," however I took classes at community college. These classes were all electives and don't transfer to much at the state school (best in the state) I'm transferring to next Spring. For the next two semesters (and future summer semesters), I'm knocking out all my GenEd requirements at community college. </p>
<p>I've researched the classes I'd like to take and it's a lot (I understand that I may not do all of them). I'm also interested in participating in the school shows. I have some learning difficulties, so I know that I need plenty of time to do homework. I'm pretty smart and I'm used to handling a large workload.</p>
<p>I think I could take no more than 5, possibly only 4, courses per semester. I could use your advice on how many courses to take as well.</p>
<p>So here are my three options:</p>
<p>When I transfer in Spring, I'd have 5 semesters to complete everything in order to graduate with my class and have a double major. That's a lot of work!</p>
<p>However, if I chose to stay on another year, I'd have a lot more time on my side. I think this option makes the most sense. Besides, it's not like I actually started taking courses that satisfy any requirements until this summer. So in some ways I'd still be graduating in 4 years.</p>
<p>I could also take even another year to graduate, but I don't think that will be necessary.</p>
<p>I don't care if I don't graduate until I'm 23. I do care if I'm graduating with my B.A. when I'm 25+.
Graduate school might be in my future, but that's a topic for later on.</p>
<p>Which of the three choices (or perhaps your own recommendation) do you think I should do?
Thanks, and sorry this was so long.</p>
