[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s great when kids know what they want and pick unique fields of study!  We don’t need everyone to be an accountant, lawyer, or computer scientist.

I know you’re not necessarily looking for college suggestions but SUNY Purchase has an interesting Museum Studies program that’s very interdisciplinary.  Could probably add on a minor too.

Cool! Sounds great! Pick interesting and unique fields of study!

And can't find a decent job for years, chronically unemployed, and end up a barista with two masters....

The plain reality is that grinding away at financial analyst or law jobs is far more likely to give you a good life than the creative occupations. I'm not saying you can't find a good career with a creative degree but if you want the six figure income, a comfortable house, the standard UMC lifestyle, the professional and financial routes are the easiest way to it. Sure, go for the creative degree but be prepared for plenty of poverty.
