I... Kinda got paid for the post grad work. What's up with ireland?

I was paying international student fees. Had I stayed in NI, the cost would have been nominal.

After six months post-grad, it finally hit home that I could make more money as a musician that I ever could as an historian, and I found I didn't relish a career as an academic all that much.

@Boru

If you are making more than a historian as a musician, by all means make music Big Grin
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
