Re: The performance degree...myth or reality?

I am currently finishing up a BM for trumpet performance at Stetson University in Fl. with plans to then get my MM and work in the industry. However I recognize how hit and miss the music industry right now, The Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra was recently locked out because the management wanted to lower rates and health care. Stetson held a benifit concert on Tues. to help raise money for them. I'm glad to say that the lockout is over.

With this current enviroment, trying to find work is very difficult. As much as I want to play for a living, I have begun to build my own IT business as well so that I will have something to pay the bills.
