'Cause I can't choose even a few to name. But I'll just say in short, I am obsessed with anything Tim Burton.

you could probably do a double degree - but perhaps not with all of those units...
maybe you could do a separate course in photography or one of the others you have listed - as an extra...

Arts degrees where people have taken a unit from this and a unit from that - don't look great on a resume when applying for jobs. If you are doing it just for kicks... then why not...

As far as I know there are few "Egyptology" undergrad programs, I'd be skeptical if there was anyway, usually its a grad program for those with archaeology degrees.

Yeah, I was thinking about that as well. I'll just have to see how it turns out.

I'm not doing it for kicks, I want a career in at least two of those things. Maybe three. :|

I found ONE college with it as an undergrad program, I can't remember where...

Do you even understand how the college system works?

Yes I do. I never said I want to do them all in one college or at one time. Those are the subjects I am interested in. I'm ambitious, so sue me?

Precisely. Maybe you've been brought up to believe that "you're a unique snowflake in a sea of other unique snowflakes and you all have your own intrinsic worth" stuff, but you'll soon come to acknowledge that any opinions that conflict with mine are wrong.

Doing all that will literally take you over twenty years just to have a mediocre understanding in them if what you really want is to pursue them as majors.
That's not ambition; that's ignorance.

Interior Design is quite interesting I actually wanted to do interior design until I saw that everybody wanted to try it...not 'cuz they liked it just 'cuz it's "cool" and of course i don't stand a chance to that kind of people who pay to get in.Money always wins over talent.

No I haven't been raised to believe anything like that. I just don't give a shit.

I said I am interested in them. I never said I could do it all. And trust me, I don't need a mediocre understanding in any of those things. I'm already quite advanced.

Oh, really? I didn't realise it was so popular. I just love to design rooms and houses. I'm told I have an eye for it. Antique style is my specialty.

IF you meant that I apologize, but that's still not how it reads.
You said you're going to college to do all of the above.
That's not going to happen.
And it doesn't matter how interested you are in them; your level of understanding can't compare to the one of someone that dedicates themselves specifically to each of those fields as a real scholar.

I did not say I was going to do them all! How many times must I point that out? I am going to do the first four. I have already spoken to colleges about it.

After that, I say 'HOPEFULLY'. It's just a whim, I assure you. I just also really love those subjects and hope to pursue them further. Is that so hard to understand?
