Maybe I should major in Music, and make it simple with just a Bacheleor of Arts, and then for a second major, I would focus on Asian languages -- Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Then, I could go to graduate school for Music, if I get the chance, or if that isn't possible, I could teach music here, or somewhere. The problem is that having a teaching license during all this would be extra helpful, but is it necessary? Can I learn Japanese without making it a language major? What about my desire to be a translator? Should I scrap that idea because it's limited in its connection to both music and teaching? If I get a major in a language (or more than one) it's not especially helpful unless its combined with something like political relations or something. That is a different area of education, and I think it's too much in the wrong direction. (I'd have to go over for a year, too, and since I'm planning on that anyway, it might not be very useful time spent.)
What I need to do is look online or wherever and find out what kind of programs are available for teaching english or music in Japan, and what their requirements are. Then, I need to figure out what major would be helpful and what jobs I can get with the education I obtain. I think this is what I want to do, I'm just distracted because I want to teach english to Japanese students, but at the same time I wish I could complete a music performance degree, so maybe I should teach MUSIC to Japanese students... ?
I'm so confused!!!
