I'm dropping out of electrical engineering to try to get into a music university to study composition. I went to talk to a teacher to help me get prepared for the admision exams and he asked me about my goals and motivations but I couldn't think of any answer.
I want to study composition because I've been trying to make my own music since I was 12 (I'm 22 now) and with the years my interest in more experimental and complex stuff has grown and I feel unable of doing something that I'm satisfied with.
Trying to learn theory on my own and specially watching youtubers like Ben Levine, Adam Neely, David Bruce, etc. have given me motivation to study music and try to make a carreer out of it.
But in reality I don't feel I have any goals for studying composition, or at least I feel that my goal is more of an individual one, I want to study because I want to fulfill my interest on the topic, I want to create music that I can enjoy from different styles, and I would like to innovate, and also if I could get any job in which I had to compose any kind of music I would prefer that a thousand times more than working as an electrical engineer.
But I feel that I don't have any concrete goal, like I want to study composition to end up doing "...", And that at some point I'll have to get one because of motivation letters and all of that.
Just to make myself an idea, what are some common goals to study composition?
