I have to thank everyone for replying, at least now I have an
narrow avenue of attack, and some guidance in my decisions. Do you ( Mrs.
Katz) find that a majority of law schools frown upon Music as a major, do
they care what you minor in? Oh, and does anyone know what the best major
would be for someone looking into corporate law?
The truth is, I don't really know what I will be happy doing, and
I really don't want to make the wrong decisions. I am scared that if I go
into law, that I will hate it and end up being a failure... I know I love
music, but I don't love the fact that it is so hard to succeed as a
professional Musician, like many of you who are have. With a job so hard
to find, I wouldn't be able to support a family, or live the a
comfortable lifestyle... On average what does a starting professional
musician make? What about a Corporate lawyer?
