#4 Current Major and Career Goals

My career goals have always been the same. I’ve always wanted to dance and be in a professional company. My plan is to move to nyc following graduation so I can start to audition for various companies. I really don’t’ have a specific company in mind as long as it is modern based. I wouldn’t survive in a ballet company. I am even willing to start small. You have to start somewhere. And hopefully in time I can work my way up the chain to bigger known companies. The bigger and more known the more my salary will be. In the mean time while auditioning I also plan to teach on the side until I become steady. I have previous experience with teaching so it shouldn’t be too difficult. I also plan to travel a lot when I get into a company. I am almost completely fluent in Spanish so hopefully that will come in handy. If nyc doesn’t work out in a few years then I might try a few other places like Dallas or Colorado or Arizona or California. Moving around will give me more exposure. Then after a few years of auditioning and trying to make it in the dance world if it doesn’t work out then I want to return to school. I m not sure what school or what state but I have the desire to get my masters psychology. I’ve always had a passion for it but right now I don’t have the time to pursue it. I was told it would be in my best interest to pursue dance first because it is a much shorter career than most. The body can only last for so long before things start to give out and not work. By the time I go back to school I also want to be married and possibly starting a family.
