What Do I Want to Be When I Grow Up?

(This is more for me to process my thoughts, than for any reader.)

I am currently majoring in Vocal Performance, but I do not want to sing opera when I graduate from college.  The problem is, is that I do not know what I want to do when I graduate from college.

Important Factors:

-I want to be able to travel, or at least to be able to do my job anywhere

-I do not want to have to worry about paying my bills

-I need to feel smart at what I do, or I will lose interest

-I still want to have time (and money) to write and record music

Interests:

-Singing

-Writing music: as in songwriting, not composition

-Recording music

-Choral music: singing and listening, but not conducting (I am most passionate about choral music)

-Classical music training: not necessarily to perform, but to protect my voice and prove legit musicianship

-Music Theory

-Pop music/media

-French language

-Traveling

Weaknesses:

-Operatic singing: I have tried. My voice isn't fit for it (it is breathy and lacks vibrato). And honestly neither is my personality (because the only way for me to produce an operatic sound is to "mock" other performers). Although I do enjoy watching some operas.

-Interpersonal skills: It is strange because I can perform or speak in front of large crowds easily (and I LOVE to do so), and I can market anything through digital media and online networking, but I am not good with personal, face-to-face, one-on-one interactions with people (at least, people I do not know well).

Strengths:

-Belting (haha)

-Pop and Musical Theatre singing

-Songwriting: I did not think so, but professionals have taken an interest and have encouraged me to pursue it

-Choral music

-Music theory: It started out rough, but I am getting better, and I love it (I am highly analytical.)

-Mathematics: And I LOVE math

-Organization

Things I might want to do/have considered doing:

-Performing as a singer on cruise ships

-Professional choral ensembles

-Studio singer/Recording artist (:D)

-Flight attendant

-Massage Therapist

-Work for a corporation or other business-related place (music-related)

-Management/Marketing (music-related)

Things I know I do not want to do:

-Musical Theatre: I am not a dancer, and I am hardly an actress

-Teach music: I have done student directing, student-teaching, and produced a musical theatre camp and I do not have the ability to control groups of students. By "ability", I mean that I do not have the patience or interest to do so.

-Pedagogy: it kinda goes along with the teaching thing, even though it does not include groups or conducting

-Hate my job: too many people these days are depressed because they hate their jobs and feel trapped by it. I think I'd rather be homeless.

-Cop out, settle, sell myself short, etc. That is the biggest thing.

Ugh. I still do not know what I want to be when I grow up :/
