What should i do with my life?

I am 15 and I am really good at the violin. I have been playing for over 12 years and the other day my teacher asked me what college I was planning to go to. Thats when I realized I have no idea what I want to do with my life! Ever since I was little I have dreamed of playing in a major orchestra but now I really dont think thats what I want to do. My teacher says I defenitaly have the ability to be in a major orchestra, but I dont think thats the life I want. If I dont do violin though, I am afraid that I will end up working some terrible job that I hate. I am not good in school I get B’s ans C’s and i even got a D in math this year (in private school, i got straight A’s in public school) I dont know what to do! Should I stick with violin or do something else that I love more? Please help!!!!!

It’s great that you’re asking this question now. Even if you were going to study music formally you’d probably have to do something with your grades. College of some kind is strongly recommended, even if you just go to community college for an associates degree (and to improve your academic record.) Talk with your guidance counsellor, then talk some more with your music teacher to get some ideas. Don’t forget to talk to your parent(s) as well. It’s OK to feel confused right now, but once you graduate from HS you can get lost very quickly without some kind of plan.

Well, you have to look at what your interests are. Is there a particular subject that you really enjoy and/or perform quite well in? If there is, look at what majors/careers are related to it. You have plenty of time before college to decide, but it’s always good to be prepared.

well if you really don’t like violin, then don’t force yourself to do it. you should be exploring other subjects and see what really interests you. maybe join some other extra curricular activities and see what you like.
