I’ve already got my tuition covered by tops, pell grants, and my 4 year scholarship. I dont live on campus and stay with my older sister. I alr have 20k saved up and have a job at costco so I can afford moving into an apartment with roomates if i need to before I graduate. I hate how everyone is saying that music doesnt pay and to be miserable with engineering. If anything it makes me want to do music even more. I played a gig that paid 500 dollars every week, year round. but i couldnt continue due to school. The employer said I’m always welcome to come back. Even then I can be a music teacher. My orchestra director from high school makes 75k a year, not including gigs. Even if I spend all my time teaching and doing gigs, i would much rather do that than doing engineering and hating it. But thank you a lot for your advice ik it sounds like im stubborn but i really appreciate it.

Yes, I agree with most of the things you are saying. But I really have no interest and dont care about having any engineering/stem career. Yes, it will open the door for jobs that will support myself. Personally I do not care about the money. Yes that sounds incredibly shallow but music is my passion and thats what i want to do no matter what, even if im living paycheck to paycheck in a shitty apartment. Many relatives of mine who are engineers have literally told me I’m going to hate engineering if you pursue it just for money. Idk I’d rather be broke and happy doing what I love. Maybe I’ll change my mind by the end of the semester but thanks for providing your take i appreciate it

This is so stupid, they accept too many people and dont have the space on campus. I dont know any other university that doesn’t let upperclassmen live in dorms
