I'm a high school sophomore and am considering possible paths for college. I truly love viola and know that going to college with music incorporated in some way is non-negotiable for me. However, I also don't think I'll be able to make enough money from viola to have a life that would keep me financially stable. Engineering is something I really enjoy and I think I could make that my passion, but I also would love to still have gigs and such with viola. Is it possible to still be hired for stuff (orchestras pits, etc) if I don't major in music performance? (Sorry if that doesn't make sense kinda rambling here)
