I do know a little about the process. My D is a professional opera singer performing and living in Europe.“he has to figure a way to advance” He THOUGHT that the way to advance, as many student do, was to incur debt. The problem with living where the jobs are (SF, LA and NYC) is that it’s too expensive for someone trying to pay the loans, on top of the audition fees, lessons, coaching etc etc etc. " This is my point. The burden of debt can make this impossible. On the other hand as you see from first hand experience, no debt and parental funding make it much easier.(rich parents…I highly recommend this route)
My D chose affordable schools and chose an almost fully funded grad school route. No debt and no post grad parental funding. (and no physician parents at the ivories)It can be done.
