I think we all like your facts @ManVan. And we are so impressed with your son’s journey. This thread took a bit of a turn when there was an appeal to readers not to turn down “prestigious” programs because they are the ones that get kids jobs. As you said, reality is … some kids make it and some kids don’t, no matter where they got their training. So imploring people not to turn down top name colleges because that’s how you get jobs just raised a few eyebrows and was a good jumping off point for a different discussion (which continues on the “What’s In A Name?” thread…) But the fact your son survived the college audition process, the BFA experience and is now getting ready to live out his dreams as a professional actor is inspiring. It does give us all hope. I for one would love to hear more of these end of journey stories so hopefully others will chime in! Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us on CC and best wishes to you and your son as he enters the world theatre professionals.
