As a studio art major, how can I continue to be consistent within my craft with a busy schedule?
As a busy college student that has a mild work load within each class, sometimes I may not get enough time to focus on what I love to do which is drawing and exploring new mediums. I find with some of my classes such as my biology classes, I have to put more focus into in order to maintain a good grade. I find that this cuts into the excess time I have to practice.

What is the best way to become a professor, if there is one?
I've heard from different people that you ought to become a high school teacher first, at least in English. I've also heard that you should just go get your master's and apply to jobs after that, but that doesn't align with the Internet research I have done. For some context, I would like to become a creative writing professor.

Should I get my PhD in Sociology or Criminology ?
So I got my bachelors degree in Sociology, with a lot of my research centering injustices within the criminal justice system. I am really interested in analyzing the CJS as an institution and looking at the ways it discriminates against different intersectional identities. I like looking at social justice issues and justice reform. Recently, I have been looking into getting a PhD as I hope to become a professor. I have talked with three professors about this, two sociology professors one english professor, and two of them(the english prof and a soc prof) believe I should pursue a PhD in criminology instead of sociology. They say this because A) sociology is incredibly competitive B) Sociology is being targeted right now under the Trump administration. They say I'll be more marketable if I do Criminology instead. The issue is, I don't want to be tied down to crime. I am incredibly interested in learning about all the issues with the criminal justice system and learning about ways we can fix it and reform our justice system. I find recividism to be very interesting as well, as well as issues in policing. However, I am interested in looking at these things through a sociological lens. I love sociology, I love how diverse it is, and I just feel that is where my heart is. However, I'll be very honest to say my understanding of Criminology is limited to the one entry level criminology course I took in my undergrad. Idk I just don't know what to do, and I'm scared if I pick sociology I'll regret it down the road if I can't find a job being a sociology professor. What should I do???

What could the path to becoming an English professor look like?
I want to study English and become a professor, but I only have a rough idea of what that process looks like. I know I'd need to do graduate work and go through training to teach, but I'm hoping to learn a little more about the specifics. Thanks!

Should I consider a career as a college/university/conservatory professor?
After some consideration, I have wondered if perhaps a music professor would suit me? What does being a music professor include (lifestyle, work-life). Could I teach multiple instruments (specifically piano and voice)? What degree requirements would I need to have? How does one become a professor, and specifically how do I become a professor of multiple instruments? Is performance a part of the job? How often would I perform each instrument (voice and piano)? Thank you!

Saint-GeorgesCold emailing and research as a high school student?
I am interested in being involved with research labs and research projects but feel that I cannot do that until college. I live in an area with little large colleges and universities near me so I find it difficult to get involved with research. I am interested in cold emailing professors for research opportunities and was wondering if it was acceptable to be doing that as a high school sophomore. If not, would anyone suggest ways to be involved in research, either paid or unpaid? If you're a professor or have experience would you help answer my questions? Thank you.
