I am a 20 year old junior currently enrolled in college. I am currently majoring in Business with Science Applications. With this major I am taking all the normal science courses such as Chem, Bio, Organic Chem, Human Physio, etc; but then I am also taking all fo the business courses such as Marketing, Econ, Accounting, etc.
My dream however is to work for Disney and I have finally decided that I want to make it my career and not just a dream.
Assessing my skills, I have come to the conclusion that I would love to work somewhere within the Animation Studios or something along those lines. I have a strong art background and one would be hard pressed to find a day that I am not out drawing. I however do not want that to be my career entirely, I feel I would be best suited in some sort of Business role within the art process. I am currently a Resident Assistant at school and am very good at leading groups. I would am looking for a position in which I could lead a team of artists, so that I could have the business aspect and still be around and able to contribue art.
I have always dreamed of taking a year off after College and getting some sort of position at a Disney park as well.
What I am here asking then, is for help. I am contemplating minoring in Art as well, to show a very well rounded individual and further increase my artistic skills. What sort of career however would I be looking for and what would I need to do to attain it? I was looking at all of the internships possible through Disney found here http://corporate.disney.go.com/media/careers/campus-overview.pdf
However I am having a hard time figuring out what exactly I would look to doing. As I said I will be majoring in Business but at the same time have a true passion for art and would consider furthering my education on the subject. With that in mind what sort of career would I be able to attain utilizing my business and art skills? Also if I were to go further for a Master's, what sort of degree would be most beneficial?
I understand that this is long winded and probably both repetitive and confusing, but I seriously would appreciate input/help.
Thank you in advance.
**I live right outside of Chicago if area affects anything in terms of opportunities though I would be fine with leaving**
