Major or Minor.... ???

November 11 2006

So, I've been giving a lot of thought to my music major status. Where will a
music major get me in life? I could teach private lessons, I could teach at a
school, I could play in professionally bands. That's about it.




I am going to be a music minister in a church some day (that's what God has
called me to do). Yes, I need to know music, but do I need to know it as
extensively as a music major does? Wouldn't a minor suffice? I do go to a music
minor instead of major then what would my major be? I've always enjoyed the
sciences, and I like math (not as much, but I enjoy it). I want something in
the computer field, but Lee doesn't seem to offer courses for that. I feel that
I should stay at Lee though, so I will pick a major they do offer. So where
does that leave me? I've spent hours going through Lee's book that talks about
all the majors and minors and the requirements and what they prepare you for. I
have to make a decision soon. Registration is on its way fast. I'm nervous.
What if I mess up? What if I pick something and struggle financially for the
rest of my life because it was a bad decision. Or what if I hate my job once
I'm done here? What if I completely miss God's plan because I'm to deaf to hear
it. I have to make a decision soon.... I'm nervous.
---------------EDIT---------------
I just located some computer-type majors. I'm REALLY interested in those. I'm researching them now.

My music minister here in Cookeville actually got his masters in piano from vanderbilt, so it is alright to get the music degree for ministry. It's however you felt led by God, not the wallet (otherwise I'd be in engineering still).

follow your heart man, you only get one life to do so.

Wouldn't the title "Music Minister" require some ministerial studies? Of course it is always a good idea to have a major, or at least a minor that is useful outside of the church just in case you need to support your ministry for a while.

I believe as long as you pray and earnestly seek God's will in it....you will do exactly what He wants you to do. I know that it is a big decision but He will let you know...you won't miss it.

I'll pray that God will give you clear direction and peace in the process. Wouldn't it be nice if when we turned maybe 13 or something God would give us a blueprint of His plan for our lives?

just do something you are passionate about... don't ever think about the money. If you are passionate about music, go for it...

with music you can do almost anything, I'm discovering that more and more each day. if it's what you enjoy doing, just work at it and you'll be happier than working with computers...cuz they break all the time and cause stress.
