| I am one whose daughter did not get into a top tier school. She got a number of rejection letters before being accepting into Millikin University. And what you all are saying has crossed my mind many, many times. Maybe she isn't talented enough to make it professionally. But that is not my decision to make. My decision is to continue to support her and to give her every chance possible. To continue to write checks for voice lessons and dance shoes. A friend of mine has a nephew that is working professionally. His MT degree is from Central Michigan Univ. So I know that it is possible.
I agree, I would like to seem more discussion from those that did not make it into the top tier school. Even more importantly, to see where they are in two or three or four years. Then again, it will be interesting to see where the CMU and NYU and CCM students are in two or three or four years.
Yes, theatermom, what you are saying has been said in many of our minds more than once. Along with all the other "mommy" doubts and worries.
