i have no idea what to major in, i love music(singing) and i love musical theatre, but with the competition and lack of job security im not sure about going into either one of those, i am extremely good at math and science, so i thought of engineering, possibly chemical, but im not sure if it actually excites me, i dont think i would be motivated to work hard in that field, is there anything where i can apply math and science to a music field or something like that. and what colleges in nys would be good for it?

You should follow your dreams because one day you may regret not doing so. You can be practical too, like becoming a music teacher, while pursuiting the performance aspect on the side. Same with Math or Chemistry, we always need teachers in the school level, but even college level could be challenging and interesting. Dual majors are great ideas and not really any harder than having a minor with a major. From what I understand the SUNY colleges are great schools. If I had stayed back home, that is where I would have pursued my degree.

Stay away from engineering unless you truly love it!!!!
Don't settle for a major for the sake of job security - NOBODY has definite job security. Uncertainty must be accepted. Study music, and maybe you will find a solid career out of it - you never know.
And college science is a different world, trust me. Its hard work!!! I love it, and its over 14 hours of work every single day. If I didnt love it, I could never do it.
Also, if your into studying cells - cytosonology: studying cells with acoustics. Awesome stuff! It will be the next development in medicine!!! Imagine being able to fully understand health with listening equiptment!

Obviously, the simple answer is to calculate a way in which the sum of all degrees is equal to the passion of your heart. Once you do that, you too can major in theatre studies with a second major in mathemetatics, then minor in music and you can combine your powers and control the world.

You have to do what you enjoy. Otherwise you are living a lie. Don't worry too much about money. You can learn to start life just making a little bit of money. It is a lot harder to find your self in your 40's hating your job and can't quit because you have a huge mortgage, car payments, a wife, and kids to support.
Its easier to get used to an average life doing what you love rather than living a life with lots of expenses and no way to change it.
Follow your heart....always.

Pursue your dream, but give yourself a backup. I love art, however very unsteady. So I'm dual-majoring in English/ art and minoring in french. Do what feels right, don't take my word for it, but give yourself a safety net.
Peace
