My future career hopes

Okay, enough about music and style.
I wanna talk about my future career hopes.

So, right now I'm a sophomore in high school, so I'm just starting to get an idea of what I want to do in college.
I've always known that I want to be a music major.
But lately, so many new doors have opened for me, there are so many possibilities of things I could do.

I honestly haven't researched college much, so I don't exactly know yet.
I want to go to a university or state college for sure.
I'd be fine staying in California, it's a beautiful area. I'd also be fine going far away.
I think that college is a stressful time. But it is also a time to go out in the world, and not rely on your parents anymore.
I want to go to a big city. I live in the smallest town on the planet. In the middle of nowhere.
We have grapevines, the beach, and the Midstate Fair. And not to mention hicks. Cowboys and country music everywhere. I CAN'T STAND IT. I hate, hate, hate how small it is here. Literally, everyone knows everyone here.
So, I wanna just get the hell out of here.

I want to major in music of course. Don't know specifically yet. I also want to go down the road of theater. Lately, I've been working at my school's theater a lot, and I love it. Since I was young I was always fascinated with the behind the scenes aspect of the theater. Thought it was so cool, and always wanted to do lighting stuff. Once I got to high school, I got really involved in the drama program. I designed lighting for all the shows this year, and did a few other shows outside of school with other groups.

As a future job, I would LOVE to do something with lighting. I'd love to become a professional lighting designer. I'd be fine working at a theater, with a company, or even touring with a group. It's just become my calling in the last few years.

For music, it could definitely be a career. Someday, I want to teach music, of course. Could even make money now giving piano lesson, I just don't have the time.
Though I feel it is not as much of a practical career as theater oriented stuff.

It has always been my dream to be in a band. I'm hoping that will also happen someday. Even though I doubt we'd get big, it be a fun experience.
