How can I best decide what to major in?
I attend an Early College HS on NCCU's campus (J.D. Clement) and I have to decide a major when I'm a junior. Thankfully, I'll be saving a lot of money for college, since I'll graduate high school with an diploma and Associate's Degree (and my college classes are free). I've been looking into Central's programs and concentrations, mainly Theatre, performance concentration, and Music, Vocal performance Concentration. I honestly want to double major in Music and Theatre, and minor in English. But I'm scared that they will both end up being 'useless degrees' I'm also considering double majoring in Theatre and English (writing concentration), and minoring in Music instead, which I suppose would be more practical, but I'm still not sure about that either. PS: Thank you to everyone that answered my previous question. You have no idea how much better I feel! Hopefully this doesn't feel like I didn't listen to your advice!

Can someone compare and contrast these colleges 1. University of Kansas 2. Kansas State University 3.

If anyone has personally gone to any of these colleges and can give me a personal insight into the music professors that would be AMAZING!

What makes the music in K-pop so addictive and unique compared to other genres?
I'm diving into the K-pop world myself and I'm super curious to hear what others think about the sounds, vibes, and how it connects with people all around the globe. I'm manifesting my future idol journey along the way. What do you guys think?
Saudi ArabiaHow do singers learn to mix their voice textures — like that whispery soft vibe in one part and then switch into a belty power note without sounding like two different people Is that something I could teach myself just by experimenting or do I need magic vocal potions??
Is there a way to practice vocals alone and actually know if I'm improving? Like... are there little tricks singers use to listen to their own voices better without a coach around? If I wanted to train my voice to sound totally different in every song — like sweet and soft one day, then dark and powerful the next — how would I even start experimenting without breaking my voice or getting lost? so if I wanted to learn how to switch between soft angelic vocals, raspy emotional ones, and those powerful diva high notes — all by myself — where should I even start? Is there like... a secret vocal personality I can unlock inside me?
Saudi ArabiaWhat makes K-pop songs so catchy and unforgettable Are there any little tricks or secret ingredients that help make melodies stick in people's heads? How can someone just starting out sprinkle a bit of that K-pop magic into their own songs? ?
I'm asking this because I'm really into K-pop and I've been writing lyrics in my little notebook with just a pencil. I really, really want to become an idol one day! Everyone on CareerVillage has encouraged me so much, and I don't want anything to stop me. So whenever I can, I want to do whatever I can to make my dream come true! 😊 I don't want to stop, I have nothing I am good at other than melody and music and I can't live without it. So if I am gonna ever die I want to die knowing I tried and gave my shot.

How can you manage multiple self-established careers at the same time?
I am very interested in majoring in the music department and know that there are not many jobs that will sustain a stable income on their own. However, I would not want to work a corporate job while managing my own music gigs. Are there other, non-music related, side hustles (like independent photography, another interest of mine) that are easier to manage but still might bring in another source of income?

if I want to do something in the fashion industry, but also want to do something in the music industry, is there any way to do both?
I'm a seventh grader who is interested in both fashion and music. If I did end up making songs, I'd use vocaloid software (Vocaloid is a bunch of voice banks that you can make sing and there's a lot of good songs made with it!). I also love fashion, and would love a job related to fashion as well. Are there any jobs in both industries I could do at the same time?

If so, what are the most effective steps to take?
