      I loved dancing but I chose science as I thought it was the more sensible option (my career would last longer, money would probably be better, it is more stable and less competitive). I also didn’t think I was good enough or wanted it enough to have a proper career in dance. However, I still love dance today and if I’m honest I wish I had been gutsy enough to take a risk to do dance. My advice now to anyway trying to make a decision between the sensible and more risky choice would be, ensure you have a good academic background behind you first, then you can always fall back on that if the risky choice doesn’t work out.
