Do computer science with a minor in music technology. Unless you're an AMAZING musician, the probability of you actually making any decent money with a music technology degree is very small. That should be something you do on the side until you can actually make money from it.
i changed my major to finance now.
U will be skraight
Start building connections in that industry ASAP.... see if your school has events or connections with companies. Career fairs and all that. Find out what jobs there are in the field and what sounds good to you. See if you can get in touch with people actually in the industry. Def leverage the hell out of all those options. I would be damn near looking to get an internship this summer if possible.
That's the plan fam, i been on twitter finding people that go to the HU and asking them for connections and shyt, i just got to keep my gpa high.
I'll keep it 100.
No.
The frat stuff can be a bit (a lot) over the top, but it really is a rare experience that I and a lot of others are really grateful for. At the same time, its never EVER going to be a *necessity* for your college experience, your professional development, or your ability to have a good time.
That being said, girls were ready to fukk my shirt after I crossedour set party was so lit
- but I'll admit there were dudes in our line that would've got zero draws without it. Its an optional endeavor man. You can have a great time with or without it. Thing is, there's really no half-assing on it. You have to make it a real goal to get in on it. There are benefits but I'm not gonna lie for daps and say the shyt was ALL good or ALL worthless. Its in-between, and like most of everything else in life, its entirely dependent on you to get as much or as little value out of it as you can.
You only have so many years to show your ass like that.... I say why notits an individual decision and not all experiences are the same so do you. If you really want to do it, do the fukk out of it young breh
BUT FOR ACTUAL CONNECTIONS? fukk. NO.
Aight breh, but I might show up to a meeting or two. Never know 
One of the biggest issues I saw with my friends was they picked poor majors. Getting a 4.0 isn't going to help you if you pick something like "music technology."
The people I know today who are successful and happy today picked engineering or finance or went to graduate school after.
Yep, that's exactly what I thought about. My weak spot is math, I know damn full well i would crash and burn being a electrical engineer
I always had an interest in economics and finance.There's a good amount of math in economics and finance too
But it's worth learning. We don't grow if we only practice the things we're good at. And I'd argue that economics/finance is way easier than EE anyway.
Smart move using social media to make connections... just be careful and savvy. Be persistent without being annoying

You are on the right track. I can't stress an internship enough. Join a club that is tied into your career to boost up your extracurricular activities.
