Hejira Pronounshe/him The Fame Popster 305 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi guys, I’m currently a senior in high school. I am thinking of majoring in either Music Business or Management and minoring in Art History or International Studies. I’ve heard so many stories of people being in completely different industries in comparison to the jobs they do now. I know an emo rapper that has a degree in astrophysics and a lot of fashion designers have degrees in political science and architecture. What are you currently studying and what hopes do you have in the future? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GitHub Pronounsshe/her Popster to Popster 3,752 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I did study biostatistics and I work in research. Now I'm taking writing classes because I learned I hate statistics, but I won't earn a degree for it. So I guess I will do statistics forever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following your true passion goes a long way. There are so many people that have found ways to use their experience to find rewarding opportunities. It might be hard to do that now because of COVID-19, however there might be eventually. It’s all a matter of patience and perseverance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, I will say there is something to be said for not turning things that I really love doing into work because realistically I'd probably hate any job . It's different for everyone, though. You just have to find a balance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg that's amazing, who is it (if you want to say). I was canvassing for AOC this past week and it felt so good (even if I registered a Republican first time voter, oops).

There’s a great fashion school near me that would teach me a lot about making textiles and design but it costs quadruple what my parent has in the bank.
