[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't waste time with college classes or getting a degree in X. Since you can't hold down a typical job, the degree won't do you any good. It's a waste of time and money. Given that a lot of colleges/universities are online these days, do you really have the self discipline to complete consecutive online courses?

Since your passion and degree is Dance why not go into coaching or teaching dance? There are a ton of studios, rec centers, camps, etc that are always hiring that you could find a job. 
Plus, teaching a bunch of dance classes isn't a 9-5 job so that's a plus since an office-type job is where you struggle.

Hec, even teaching a few zumba classes a few times a week would check off all your boxes.  [/quote]

This is terrible advice.  Who would want to pay for their child or budding professional to take classes from a never-professional?  College dance degree holders are people who paid 4 years of tuition dollars to self-actualizing their self-fantasies, not actual dancers who the public pays season tickets to watch perform.  And frankly, nobody would pay to take physical training lessons from someone who is out of shape.  A good number of college dance (i.e. modern dance) products do not have body types to aspire towards.[/quote]

How do you know OP didn't keep up with her dancing and is out of shape? And it's not that hard to become a dance instructor especially for lower levels. All you need is "experience" which OP has, no? It's not like she's applying to coach (or try-out for) the Rockettes. She could teach a dance class at the local renter, camp, or whatever. NBD.

It's not that far-fetched of an idea given OP can't hold an office job for more than a few months, she's bored and feels aimless, and she came here looking for some suggestions. A degree in dancing means OP likes something/good at it to get a degree in it, so run with that. Right?[/quote]
