Thanks for all your concern everyone. I'm impressed by your willingness to help. As for the "why be a music teacher?" I am still trying to figure this out. Here is another "timeline of indecisiveness"
-last year-oh what should I do for a living?
-I think I want to do something in music, but Im not up to college-level playing- I know! Ill get into recording industry!
-I do some research-talked to people in the industry-everyone said dont do it
-after great thought, I decided it really wasnt for me
-I began to think about other possible careers in music
-I thought of composition/film scoring- this is still my "top choice" but...
-Did research-found out most composers supliment with another job
-I also dont have compositions to show professors, we just started this in music theory II- my school only offers 1 and 2
-then comes music teacher- I honestly thought that there was a demand, someone told me this.

there it is, confusing or not

And for Susan-

I see this as my own fault along with the nature of my music program. It is somewhat laid back, although we play modern music-whitacre, rienikie(sp?)etc. I was never really pushed to get lessons because my director never knew I didnt get them and I have been 1st and 2nd chair the past 2 years, so I thought that I was "good enough." This is my fault for not recognizing that I am clearly underqualified, along with just putting this off for so long. I visited Ithaca in Sept and was kinda intiminated, so I began to doubt myself, thus putting this off more. So yeah, this is mostly, if not, completely my fault.

thanks for reading that, sorry if there are grammar mistakes, I am quite tired.
