Advising/Major

I am a biology major and a music minor. At the moment, I really don't know what I want to do with my major. I chose it because I've always been interested in biology. I might want to go into genetic research, marine biology, or dentistry/orthodontisrty (all very different desires-I know). I almost majored in marine science because I have an interest in marine conservation. However, I wanted a broader major, so I chose biology hoping it would keep my options open and and hoping to be able to explore other branches of biology to find which one I am most passionate about. I chose my minor, because after 11 years of piano lessons, 8 years of playing clarinet, 4 years of marching band, learning a lot about music theory, etc, I could not bare to part with music. I don't think I could make a career out of music but I most definately want to keep it in my life and develop my piano playing abilities to their full potential. Perhaps I will teach piano lessons, play piano in church, or do something else low-key with music while pusuing my real career in biology.

If money and education were not factors, I would travel. I want to explore the world and experience different cultures (this desire is probably due to the fact that I've never left the country and that I love trying new things). After traveling, for a while, I would settle down somewhere. I want to learn Italian and live in Italy for some period of time in my life. (My mother is full-blood Italian and has lived in Italy. The way she describes it, the life-style there is so much more appealing than in America-not to mention to food is really good!) Since Italy is a penninsula in the Mediterranean Sea, I could definately pursue a marine biology career in Italy. Also, people in Italy need dental higene too in case I want to be a dentist/orthodontist. I'm sure I can work something out.
