I understand.

Okay - we're pretty much on the same page. I'll delete the post if you want - i did actually edit a few bits... trying not to be insulting but still getting the old point across sort of thing.... might have gone too far...... just that when someone swears at me I take a defensive stance!!

Your last sentence is precisely the sort of thing that fuels peoples work. The right attitude - that's always what I'm looking for in people.

And I agree an education is the first step in any career. I really want people to be sure what they're doing when they try and enter this business.....it's tough. You probably know this!! Heck - I've made a lot of money over the years but I wonder daily if I should have stayed in research - how much more work is there really gonna be etc etc!!

And yes - "degree mills" are predatory. Not just in music though - there is a lot of it in the arts overall. My good lady did a performing arts degree at a similar media based college - regrets it a lot now......

the "mop the floor" was a sideswipe joke.....

likewise sorry for any offense. I'm certainly not belittling anyone for doing the course - that would be stupid and if it's come across that i've implied that - then that's not what i meant!

sure, i think we both ultimately want the same thing.
a fair deal.

degree mills aren' a fair dealt, and that in turn, can result in poor service.
poor service to an employer (like you and me)
poor service to the student (those we hire)
and most importantly poor service to a client that's placed his or her trust in us to make their dream a reality.

im big on customer service, i can go on all day with that.lol.
im of the school that service in king. and education and experience are the tools needed to provide the best service to the paying client.

ok, im rambling. too much turkey and sweet potato

good nite
