Motivation for college: education or salary?
#31
RE: Motivation for college: education or salary?
My music degrees are monetarily worthless. The field I wanted to go into required a ton of post-graduate work, and I didn't get offered any grant money for the schools I got into, so I didn't continue. I'm glad I went to college, and I continue my education by taking classes in other fields. I took a radio and television course that was a ton of fun. I just don't necessarily expect gainful employment as a result of these interests. I like education for education's sake.

Anyone that thinks the arts are "easy" degrees has no idea what they're talking about. Along with classes, lessons, tests (not to mention juries), and homework, I practiced five or more hours a day and had performances five or more times a week. Grueling.
