If you are at college/uni...

1. What is your major?Composition (music), but I may switch to music teaching or dual with music teaching.

2. What job do you hope to get because of this preparation?Well, if I switch to teaching, a teacher, hopefully in Maine or perhaps somewhere in Canada . On my current track, there are no permanent jobs in composition, save scoring for a tv series, radio, etc. Otherwise, someone hires you, you get a few dollar bills, do a good job, hope people notice and then someone may hire you again. Of course, you might make crap and live in NYC for 10 years before any "break" happens. The "break" that people always speak of may never come.

3. Is higher education giving you what you feel you need to be successful?well, I have this sad feelign that it's all going wrong. Berklee is such a huge school (4000) that any individualiezed instruction in how to compose doen'st really come till like the last semester or seventh, and I can't come up with stuff myself for some reason, and this causes depression and I feel worthless, it's possible to get so lost in the sea of people at this school. There was one girl who was an 8th semester student that didn't know ANYTHING about music, how to notate a rhthm she came up with even (your taught this by second semester), see easy to get lost.

4. Did you go to college right after high school or did you wait?sadly, I should've waited, and gone to URI, and taken all my gen eds first so I'm not stuck where I am right now. I can back out of course, but my parents have paid 50-60,000 on me going to this school, and I'll feel so completely worthless if I just change my major and transfer, I'm never gonna pay back that money , it's a horrible horrible pickle really .
