I want to ask what in Xxactly in music do you want to do? I always assumed you wanted play a instrument in band or something in which I would agree to drop out ONLY because music is about talent, not about credentials and a credential wont grant talent... thats something you'll have get on your own

I'm not sure what I want to do.  I love to compose music, but I'm more of a riff box than anything, and I have trouble bringing together multiple ideas to form a cohesive whole.  I can come up with nice melodies, and can harmonize or solo over the work of others rather well.  I think I'm at my creative best when bouncing ideas off of others rather than working on my own, as I can embellish a piece quite nicely.  I can take a simple melody and turn it into something far more, with dual guitar leads, a rhythm section, the works.  Honestly, I'm beginning to think I'd make a better producer than composer.

And I have no intention of dropping out.  I realize that at least a basic degree is necessary for a large portion of the jobs out there.  I believe most of my courses are a waste of time/money, but in the end I still have to take them.  It's like I'm required to throw four years of my life away.  =/
