OK. Turn it around. Suppose someone actually WANTED to be an attorney.
Wouldn't law school make sense?
You admit people go to some schools to get a degree that will open doors for them. Isn't that networking and making connections? Don't you think one might meet more performing musicians at music schools than at other colleges? Aren't local gigs posted on conservatory job boards more often than on non-music school boards (who you gonna call for an organist? Juilliard or Cooper Union?)
So how is it that these "changed people" you know go to law school to study law so they can do other things -- and that's a good thing, while going to music school to study music to be a musician is not?
Again, pursue the education that's best for you. But don't worry about the entire generation.
And welcome to Jersey, where we don't pump gas. |
