A "full ride" for a musician is chicken feed compared to what an athlete gets.

I was fortunate to get tuition waved for my 1st stint in grad school with 2 universities bidding on additional teaching stipend. My father who expected me to go to med school flatly told me that the cost of grad school was on me. When I showed him the offers, he was very quiet......

My second stint in grad school was 100% picked up by the Gov't for classes while I was working full time.

If you want to get ahead, get into a STEP area that you excel in and ride it. It made in total a 40 year career for me that in part has not yet ended as I am still publishing and involved in research.

A life of dignity, well invested in the wellbeing of others.

Rufue,
I hope you noticed that your profession was not included in those that IMO did NOT deserve big bucks.

I had and have no complaints about my compensation. The opportunities where I was were substantial.

I wonder if the hand grenade sort of thing at his waist is a pee-grenade.

It's a magnificent outfit, all handmade, no doubt, bordering on being an overall work of art.

I have a friend that is a pharmacist. He works for a big chain. One that has 3 letters in their name. He used a plague doctor outfit for his first face mask. When this 3 letter store told him " you need to wear a facial covering" back in march. He showed up Dressed in his Halloween outfit (plague DR). He is lucky to have 27 years with them or they would have ended his employment that day. Some people have no sense of humor.

Pandimensional....only a small bit of me is in this reality.

I had another homeschooling 101 class trip. I took the wife and kid with me to Buffalo NY. Then a quick run over to see the falls. We had to stay on the USA side.
