<p>True. The job search is always a matter of concern no matter one’s degree or area of interest. It does seem so often to be the case that when people have demonstrated a tremendous self-discipline and focus in one area, they have the skills to learn and master new things. Entering a top conservatory is not a promise for an international career. It is a step in a long process for a developing musician/artist. How that education will be realized may not be determined for many years. It’s a big wide world with many communities starved for culture and classical music. While there are no guarantees in this competitive field, I believe that it is important to encourage our young musicians to follow their dreams and see where they lead. At least they will never look back and say, I woulda shoulda coulda.</p>
