[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, 100%. I wanted to go to college to study literature and to write. It was not allowed. All I ever did was read and write. I read Tolstoy in 8th grade. But to appease my parents, I went into psychology, a mistake as I hated it. I am good at being an academic; I eventually got a Master's degree in History. I don't know what I would have been if I studied literature, but I know I would be good at being a professor. [/quote]Replace literature with acting or singing, and being a professor with being an actor or singer. All three of these careers are extremely selective, and it's therefore presumptive to so you would be a good professor/actor/singer when the overwhelming majority of excellent candidates never become one.[/quote]
