<p>I love the sentiment of this thread, and agree that MT professionals learn all of these things. I guess the only thing I question is whether most really serious MT kids haven’t already learned most of these lessons from their serious involvement in theatre prior to heading to college, and I guess that was the question at the heart of the Transformed, Fine-tuned, Hardly-changed thread. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/musical-theater-major/1178243-transformed-fine-tuned-hardly-changed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/musical-theater-major/1178243-transformed-fine-tuned-hardly-changed.html</a> </p>
<p>In any case, I don’t doubt that there are many new and important lessons to be learned in college, and as you say all of these skills will serve these kids well whatever paths they follow later in life.</p>
