| Re: The performance degree...myth or reality?
Even the music education degree doesn't ensure a job. i have one and right now am working with low functioning mentally retarded junior high boys with violent behavior problems. because of the state budget cuts. having said that i woudl encourage the music ed degree because there is at least the chance. i also would rather see undergraduates go to a school that has a really good liberal arts department so they are well rounded. i am with mr. carroll i really resent the attitude today of so many people that college is a glorified vocational school rather then producing graduates that know something about culture and have been exposed to the classics in music, art, literature, drama and (hopefully ) can think and reason for themself.
