Q: I'm thinking about getting my bachelor's degree in studio art because I LOVE art and always had a passion for it. I took a few classes and my professors told me that they see something in me and that I have natural talent. Although I know that I'll enjoy it, I'm afraid to major in art because I don't know what kind of career options I'll have. Should I follow my dream and go for it or just major in something that I don't enjoy just to be on the safe side? Thank you so much for your responses!
I say go for it. If it's what you love and it's what you're good at that is what you should stick with. If you are worried about future jobs, you can always take a class over the summer (or at your university) in graphic design or computer based art. This will make you a very competitive applicant for companies that are looking for artistic people to create ads etc.. It is also your best shot at becoming an artist if that is what you desire. No regrets, go for what you love to do.
