Hey everyone. i am a 19 year old junior in college. I started going to school at a smaller school, then transfered to a major conservatory. The conservatory didn't work out and so I came back to the smaller school, after painting it up in my mind to be better than it was. Things are not working out. I have changed my major to something completely different (I still practice as much as I used to), but I really just want to finish my music degree and get something out of it. I don't have enough money to transfer again, however, and if I leave school for a year my vast amount of loans will go into repayment (major conservatory was expensive). I have thought about the military and that is becoming possibly the most viable option at this point, although I'm not sure that's what I really want to do. Has anyone been in this same spot? Should I just stick it out?? Should I try somewhere else?? Take some time off??? Join the military?? Thanks for your responses.
