Kelly Hirina, a Music first-year student who plans to major in dance, also said she worries about finding a job. I want to be a performer or choreographer, but if I couldn't, I'd probably go back to school. However, students can prepare for the job search even during their undergraduate years, by developing a range of interests. We encourage a strong academic course of study, and we encourage a major outside the School of Art, maybe even a second undergraduate degree. It gives students more flexibility.
Students often benefit from their professors' advice.
Risenhoover said that this system operates in the School of Music. Baxter also had suggestions for undergraduates. Writers need to read and write as much as they can, and to send their work out to magazines and work on getting published. Still, many would say it is most important that students maintain their commitment to the arts. It doesn't matter at all what anybody says.
