Be smart. We're living in an economy that can't even afford to pay its military. Downsizing is happening everywhere. Be smart about what you're getting your degree in and what you're going to do with it. Choose something you KNOW you can excel at but at the same time, know is marketable in the employable world. I'm passionate about my art... But I know it is not a wise idea for me to take something for the sake of my magic. That's stupid. Say magic fails for me, I just wasted a degree in underwater basket weaving for nothing. How will I support my family? While I agree it's important to chase your dreams and never give up, but you have to be smart with how you do it. I'll give up every material love I've ever had to support my loved ones. Right now, do what you can to obtain licenses, certificates, diplomas. MARKETABLE Diplomas. Like someone mentioned that they transferred from... Classical Greek studies... What will that do for you in a world that is struggling to hire. It's a competition. Think outside the card box for a moment. I would like to ultimately major in Psych... But not for magic. Now while it may help in some area magically, I'm interested in the fields it will open up to me. I hate to be a debbie downer, but it's a race in the real world and I advise you not to fall behind.
