Day 16. Something I always wonder "what if" about

I always worry about my chosen major and whether or not I'm going to be able to actually go anywhere with it. One thing about art is that having a successful career in it largely depends on where you went for college. Being at a community college for 2 years won't hurt but there's a good chance I'm going to have to go to VCU when I get my associate's. That's not terrible because they have one of the best art programs. But the school and area doesn't really appeal to it. It's in the city, Richmond is a rather sketchy area and I prefer a smaller school. But if I end up going there I'm just going to try to make a positive experience in it. What I really want to do is work as an art therapist, possibly with people dealing with mental health difficulties. There aren't really any schools in my state that offer that as a major so I could do a double major in Psychology and Art or (what I'm more likely to end up doing) is Major in art and minor in psych. I love both fields but I lean more towards fine arts than science and I don't want to risk the stress of a double major, especially after I tanked with just one during my freshman year. Granted I hated what I was studying but I didn't when I declared my original major. Anyways I know it isn't helpful but I always worry "what if all this studying is worthless in the end. I'll just have wasted thousands of dollars and countless hours on classes and supplies."
