[quote=Anonymous]My son wants to be a musician so I have similar apprehensions. We listened to a podcast where John Legend talked about his early life. He was by all accounts a musical prodigy (and academic prodigy), but wanted to have a backup plan in case a music career didn't pan out. Legend ended up at UPenn, majoring in English then worked as a mgmt consultant after college, pursing music /gigs in his free time until he "made it". That resonated with my son, so he wants to major in business, minor in music, but go to school in a city like NY or LA where he can pursue music in his free time. I know acting is a bit different, as auditions are during the day. I would suggest pursuing a business major or something skill-based with a flexible schedule - nursing, programming, or even hair/aesthetician (my hairdresser works 2 days a week an earns over 100k) - just so she has options aside from waiting tables.
