[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, we have taken a tangent. This poster is looking for schools that would allow her daughter to continue dance AND double major with bio/environmental science with the goal of going into conservation work for her job.[/quote]

Thanks, PP, OP here. I appreciate the suggestions for colleges very much and I’ve added a few to our list. I’m always amazed at the posters who can’t wait to trash arts degrees and artistic careers more generally, as if a world with only accountants and attorneys is an ideal universe. No books, movies, music, theater, sculpture, fashion, whatever. DD knows her art won’t pay. That’s not the point. She wants to keep doing it at a high level in college because she’s an artist and an academic. There’s no reason she can’t do both. I did.[/quote]

Just want to send support from another parent of an aspiring performing artist.  People have no problem enjoying various forms of art in their everyday lives but then love to trash it as a career and offer all types of unsolicited suggestions.

I’m so grateful for artists and performers who enrich our lives and the world around us, making it a more beautiful place to be part of the human experience.  Thank you for supporting and nurturing your child’s passion for her art form![/quote]
