How bad is music appreciation as a class?

I am transferring community colleges, and this summer, I planned to take film as art because I have taken a similar class in the past and knew it would be an easy A. Now that I am transferring schools, the new school wants me to take something else.

Either Introduction to Theatre, Art History, or Music Appreciation. I can't take art history because all the sections are full, and I don't even want to consider doing an online theatre class. So, I have to take music appreciation.

I am seeing mixed reviews on the class. Some people say it's extremely difficult, while for others it was an easy A. So, I am coming here to ask, how hard is it? I can still take film; however, it would be a pain (on the school's end) to evaluate and transfer the credit. I just want to see what others have to say about the class, so I can determine the best route for me this summer.

So, I am going to be honest, I bullcrapped my way through medical terminology, and it is now biting me in the butt big time. My final exam is Monday of next week, and i went through all the terms we have done this semester, and it's over 200 terms. The good thing is I worked in healthcare, so I knew a lot, but not all of them.

Here is what I am asking. Should I study the specific prefixes, suffixes, and roots and the words, or just the words and the prefixes and suffixes? What specifically should I study? I know this is my fault. I don't even need an A in the class since I am transferring schools into a non-healthcare field, but it would still be nice to get a good grade.

The good thing is I have a 97 in the class, so I only need a 61.5 to finish the class with an A. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

So, I am not the most educated on the funding cuts, other than I know that a lot of funding was cut to a lot of organizations. Anyway, I am pursuing an associates in Natural Resources Mangagement. Seeing all of these posts from people saying there are going to be fewer and fewer jobs, and seeing how bad the pay is, is scaring me away from this field.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in digital media. I have ZERO desire to work in that field. I talked with a program recruiter for a school I was looking at for a second bachelor's, and she recommended I go into a Master's Degree. I found that the school has a Master of Science in Forest Resources, which lines up heavily with what I am already pursuing, and she said I could even get an assistantship. For me, that is more hopeful than a bachelor's espeically since it is cheaper than a whole 4-year degree.

Before I commit to that, I need to know if this field is even worth getting into debt for. My backup is engineering, which I know is a full 180, but I know I can succeed in that as well. I want to work in the environment, but if I can't get a job, I am wasting my money, and I would rather invest it in something that will get me a job. I am not putting down environmental, I just can't live on hopes and dreams this time, if that makes sense (I don't mean that to sound harsh).

If there are any new grads from this field or experienced people who could give some advice to someone in my situation, I would greatly appreciate it. I just want to make the right decision and not waste another degree.
