Sorry, this all reminded me of the opening lecture in my introduction to music composition class many moons ago. The professor decided to tell us about the career of a music composition major:
"You arrive and begin your studies. Either you got a head start in high school or take a few years in another major, but you are accepted into the music composition program. After four to five years, you get your bachelors degree in music composition.
"There is no work for you.
"So you go back to school and spend a few years until you achieve your masters degree in music composition.
"There is no work for you.
"So you go back to school and spend a few years until you get your doctorate in music composition.
"There is still no work for you.
"So you go back to school and get a job as a professor in order to teach other people to do the same thing you just did. Perhaps along the way you will write some pieces that people will enjoy and remember."
