Love help: How do I convince my parents……. - Help.com

pursuit your dream that may leave you hanging on the street

Or

continue your education and live in sorrow

sounds like an easy choice ^_^

its nice if you can convince your Parents .I couldnt i had to learn a Trade .I wish they would have let me go and study Music.But that is now History.go to my Web site barbyman.com

I guess you should talk with your parents about how music makes you happy & how much you want it to be your way of life. Maybe they agree with you, but if they don’t, you can always make a deal. One of my best friends was in a similar situation, so he talk with his parents about he wanted to study music instead of engineering
(his parents think the same about how you need to study something “safer”), so, my friend is studying both at the same time. It’s a lot of work, but in his case is working really good. He’s just in the middle of engineering (cause he is taking it slowly) & next year he will be a out of a famous music school….

can you do both become a musician but have a back-up plan?

i think you don’t have to study music … it’s a talent and trannig .. but network security is not a talent :D

I think you should double major in music and a trade at a school that’s good at both–maybe not MI, but somewhere good. Then, you can world towards being a musician, but if it doesn’t work out, you can always do the trade. It’s extra work, but it’s probably worth it. I’m in a similar predicament (with writing though, not music) but I eventually realized that since writing requires no degrees or anything, I can always go for it as a career, even if I don’t have a degree in creative writing. I can choose a more ‘practical’ major just in case.
