What should my major be Lawyer, pharmacist, producer.?
I pretty much have 3 options I've narrowed it down to. Lawyer, pharmacist, music producer. Lawyer because I like to argue & I'm pretty good with backing up my reasons + they make a good amount of money, but it is possible it won't work out because I can't find a good law firm to work for. Pharmacists because they make a good amount of money no matter where you work. Music producer because I love music and making music (specifically beats for rap & I love rap/hip-hop in general) & I'd love to learn more about music theory, but I'm a female and if you aren't successful, I might lose a lot of money. In the end is it up to me and my desires or should I focus on the success rate & money?
Does it really matter where you go to college?
I plan to major in piano and voice performance with a minor in psychology, and then start private music lessons. Does it matter where I go to college, or should I try to get into one that is more prestigious in the realm of music performance? I kind of want to go to a Christian college that is closer to home, but obviously they aren't really known for music performance so I'm just wondering what I should do.
I want to be a music therapist AND an art therapist AND teach piano and voice in private lessons. How should I go about this for college? At first I was thinking double major in piano and voice for bachelor's and then double major in art and music therapy for master's, however, I realized that music performance is probably not a prerequisite option for art therapy. Perhaps a minor in psychology along with bachelor's plans? Please help.?

What can I do in highschool to prepare for a career in business/music management?
I’m a current freshman in hs who has interest in both owning my own business as well as helping music artists as they are my idols (haha), and I’ve found that I just have too much free time on weekends like I watched mvs until 1:00 today ;-; and I want to channel that energy into building a career, but I don’t plan to even live in the same country when I graduate, so it seems kind of pointless to try and start anything now if any connections I make here are gonna be useless, so I was hoping for advice on the things that I can work on now in order to be able to create my ideal career without risk in the future. Ideally it would be stuff that takes a lot of work lol Or does anyone have a way that I would be able to build a career in these areas in a way that would allow me to continue even though college/moving out of country? For context, I have no money or job experience, no free time during weekdays except past my curfew, and live in an area with no industry so idk where I would even start, but I’m too impatient to wait until I get a degree or move out or any of that…. Thanks :)
