Pursing a Writing Career

     I'm in an art school majoring in creative writing but last year I tried to switch to theater technology and wasn't able to. I was really broken up about it and starting high school in a major I didn't want to be in sucked. Then months into the year I began once again enjoying writing like I had back in sixth grade and I couldn't imagine leaving this major. Still though I really wanted to be in theater tech and every play I saw brought that yearning back up. It took a lot of thinking but I've decided that I'm staying in creative writing because I can't imagine not graduating a creative writing major.
    That all being said I don't want to pursue a career in writing. I want to major in criminal justice and or forensics and minor in psychology. I want to do anything from investigator to psychologist. I love the idea of a forensic scientist too if I can get through the schooling. I do want to get a book published-it's one of my main goals-but being an author is not something I want to live off of. So here I am in creative writing with no interest in a writing career. I tried to switch out and I sew and make cosplay props in my free time more than I write. Yet I do want to be a creative writing major and I couldn't imagine not being a creative writing major and I do love writing and when I get into one of those moods I could write for days.
    So yeah, pursing a career in writing? No thank you.
