Should I study music?

I'm currently a first year uni student studying a Barts, majoring in English text and writing and I am HATING it. I originally wanted to study music at The Sydney Conservatorium of music but was rejected (not because of my music skills but because my admissions rank was not high enough.



One of the proffessors even told me he sympathised with me because he felt that I would have bee "fine" in the course and that my rank was not trully indicative of my capabilities (however student admin rejected me anyway).



So I my back up plan was to study Arts and than apply for transfer next year.

In theory this was a good plan. For one, I performed exceptionally well in English last year however now I am incredibly disinterested in the course and far too cynocal to tolerate some of the sentiments that are inexorably linked to humanitites and arts.



In every lecture and every tutorial all I keep thinking is "music...music...music" but now it's too late. I am considerably jadded and no longer wish to pursue music. Although I love music and NOTHING in the world can make me feel the way music does (I've loved it for as long as I can remember), this doesn't change the fact that a Bmus degree is pretty worthless when you think about it.



I realise now that job prospects would be incredably low with such a degree. To make matters worse I wasn't even going to specialise in performance. I was specialising in composition. Now, a single piece may be played by hundreds of different performers, however it only takes one composer to write hundreds of different pieces. In some respect, investing in a music degee would be a complete gamble.



Now I don't know what to do.

I don't really have any career goals. I really liked biology in highschool but didn't get the marks I needed to pursue any biological derivitory disciplines.



Whats a good career path for me to take?

My future looks bleek at this stage. I'm unemployed and having trouble getting employed (even mcdonalds rejected me) and thats likely due to my limited work experience since all my work experience has been music and music teaching related.



What kinds of degrees or qualifications will make it easier for me to find work?Should I study music?
hey, maybe a music producer? = )

I love love music as well but I know that it is a gamble

basically anything in the Arts is a gamble, so I'm choosing something that

interests me and might be a good field to go in; computer science xD

I heard college is a place where you find yourself...let it simmer.

maybe you should gamble a little? xD

If you want it go for it, no holds barred.Should I study music?
I must admit I didn't read the question at all. I'm sorry but it was way too long
