My friend is a freshman in college and she is majoring in media and communications?
but she also wants major in theater because she is very interested in acting and stage directing. She is skeptical about changing her major because she heard a lot about the myths by majoring in theater does not gurantee instant sucess plus her father believes theater is a waste of time but she really wants to study theater. I told her she can minor in theater but she wants two degrees plus she said the workforce does not look at the minor she believes double majoring gurantees more marketabilty. So I am asking anyone can she double major in theater and media business and how is double majoring going to be like for the college student especially for her pursuing two rigourous fields.
She is getting a Bachelor in Science for Media and a Bachelor of Arts for Theater will that make a major difference.
Theatre Doc and I disagree about college. I still don't see how an education is ever a waste of time. I do think that a talented person will get a job with or without a degree, but I do not think getting an education is ever a waste. Depending on where your friend wants to direct, she can start whenever she wants. Community theatres are always looking for new directors and once she gains experience (maybe she can start by assisting someone else) then she may gain a reputation, win awards, meet people and network, etc. Then move up to more prestigious theatres, but I do think she'll have to start at the bottom. It may be a great idea for her to act in plays, of course it would be awesome if she were good...
I do agree that majoring in theatre does not guarantee success. No matter what you major in, it's ultimately up to you and if you're actually good at what you went to school for in order for you to succeed. Theatre is a very difficult thing to succeed in. It's a very exclusive business, even more so than Hollywood and for a female director I would think the odds are even more against her. Having a stack of degrees won't help her if she's not good. She sounds driven which is great, but if it means she can't see the sky for the trees then she'll need to step back from that and remember what her original vision and goal is.
I absolutely wish her the best of luck. I would love to see another female director out there
