[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an art/dance major. A lot of people think my degrees are useless, yet I raise a family doing what I love. One person's idea of uselessness is another person's means of living and happiness. [/quote]

I have a child who might major in dance. It is the one thing she truly enjoys. School has never been easy for her (ADHD and anxiety).

Now, I'm not sending her to Julliard or NYU full pay like some will (I LOL at a lot of the tuition pages on the college websites I have visited), but all I want is for her to get a 4 year degree. We're mostly looking at the VA state schools - Radford and ODU are likely her top contenders.

She's not really planning to be a professional dancer, but she may go into some sort of OT/PT type job eventually (some of those need higher degrees/certifications) OR teach/open her own business.

I've changed direction 3 times in my 20-ish years out of school. My husband got an engineering degree pt as an adult after spending time in the military. Your decisions in your late teens/early 20s are not necessarily who you will become.
