Ok so here's my situation, I want to major in Biology (or theatre, but probably bio) and I've got 6 of my senior year classes decided, but I'm having a tough choice determining if I want to take math or an easier/more fun class like AP Euro or ASL 3, understanding my major and the fact that senior year can be stressful what with choosing a college and what not, what would you do?
Maybe you guys don't understand, I want to know which of the classes listed in #7 I should take and why.

Go the BIO route, it will help if you change to Theater in college
COLLEGE for a LIBERAL ARTS program REQUIRES
Math 101 (Algebra Trig)
1 year General Science
3 years English
3 Years History related
1 year Arts
Now
SCIENCE MAJORS require
Calc 1, sometimes Calc 2
Statistics
Biology
Chemistry with lab
Organic Chemistry with lab
Physics
Plus Arts and English and History
So, if you already had some theater and choir
I'd center on AP Calculus and Biology
UNLESS of course, you're not good in Math and Science
In which case FORGET a science major because COLLEGE will be ROUGH and TOUGH and Theater Arts will be a breeze but won't get you much money with a BA degree
A BS in Chemistry can land you a $30K job
A BA in Theater will make you $2,000 in theather work and $15,000 in Waiter/Telemarketing work
If you got the Biolog route
You better take it to the hilt
that means MASTERS or MEDICAL DOCTOR program
A BS in Biology isn't much better than a Theater degree
Chemistry, at least, has a lot of potentials and I know people with just BS in Chem who made great money doing lousey work and getting no credit or money for this inventions.
You have to face facts that YOU will teach your NEW boss the job and he gets the job because he has a PH D and you don't
But you'll still make $30-45K as a BS chemist.
And you'll pick up the tab at Applebee's for your Theater friends who are broke (or you will find them as your waiter).
You WILL, however see your theater friends occsionally on TV as the JUDGE on Boston Legal with 5 lines.
One to three days work ($1,000-$3,000) and then they are back in community theater at $300 a week for 10 weeks and are unemployed the rest of the year.
Of course they get straight 26 weeks Unemployment if they ahve enough credits and DON'T have to take Waiter jobs as a UNION actor.
