So I find myself in that pivotal point in everyone's life... college.

I am a freshman this year and I really have absolutely no idea what I want to do for a career. In my honest opinion, the classes are stupid, it feels just like high school only I have to pay ungodly sums of money to get this education. mad.gif

If I could find a job that would let me live on my own and practice guitar everyday, buy new guitars, amps, pedals, etc... I would be a happy man until the day I died. The problem is I don't know what to do! The first thing all of my professors said to us was: "Why are you here?" I had no solid answer for this other than "It is what I am... supposed.... to do?"
So I am just wondering, asking, for some career advice. Did you go to college? What did you major in? If you didn't what do you do, and how does it affect your playing? If you did or did not go to college are you happy?

Please help! unsure.gif
