4 years University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music - Music Education finished with a Masters in 4 years - My grades did better with a heavy load! Took 26 hours or more a quarter including summers. Ran out of classes to take so I started taking Master Degree stuff and just finished it off, before I could graduated with my BS, so I got both. I had to take a specific number of ensembles to graduate with a BS that worked out to 4 years. Oh I am a Tuba player - professionally - I got burnt out quickly - I love Music can't take the egos!
So I got drafted by a computer company -I am now a systems admin for an school district that is the size of Rhoad Island - I have my CCNA, MCSE, CNE, and a bunch more not sure if any of them matter or not. So in my case I make a living off of Microsoft, but I only use Apple hardware - it works for me. Keeps my sanity - because I don't have to support two Microsoft Newtorks - it sucked going home and having to do the same crap I did all day at work. Yeah I like the job, pays well, but times you have to deal with crap - like any job. And sometimes you have to put in a few extra hours to get something working. Friday I worked from 4:30 am - 3:30 am into Saturday. But if you pull it off and get things working again, your a hero! If you don't well everyting slides down hill. The future I will probally keep doing this - peole want me to start fixing their cars for a living - I have a back log right now I could do it full time! But it is what I do for a break, if it becones my job - who knows what I would do then. Their is a fine line between genius and insanity not sure which I side I am walking on currently Oh would I recommend it as a profession? Only if you are a masacist! |
