Default Help! I need advice on my major/minor choice. I am a second semester sophomore, and I am so terribly confused?

Please help me! Advice from anyone would help me greatly! I am currently a 2nd semester sophomore at a university college. My major is Studio art, and my minor is left undeclared. And I don't think I am headed in the right direction. I know it is late in the game, but I am struggling, struggling to come up with a set major, minor, and my life job after college. Please help.
I love art, preferably drawing anime/cartoon characters, sketching, painting. I came into college as an art major right away, unsure of what else I wanted to do. I am a hard worker, but get below average grades. Japanese culture intrigues me and I am taking the language class in college, and I want to study abroad next year to Japan. I like music. 10th year on the clarinet, and I recently picked up the flute, guitar, and bassoon. I've never been really good in high school at any other classes except Spanish, music, and art. I like anime, tennis, reading. I've met an international student from Japan this past year and he used to be a art major as well, until he changed his major to Global Studies.
Any suggestions??? I would be eternally grateful!

I would suggest that you go into graphic design or something along those lines. You could work all over the world if you have the right skills. Japan is definitely known for their anime and video games; you could have a job creating the characters and scenarios for the games.

I would consider going to your career services office at your school for some help. They can help point you in the right direction for the major you should choose for what your passionate about. Make sure you keep up those grades though! You need to get the right GPA if you want to graduate and get the proper training.

Good luck!

You better get some technical classes. The future is all about computers.
