[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most grads from CMU drama/MT programs are jobless after graduation, or are working at Starbucks. My DD, a CMU grad, happens to be one of them.[/quote] What are the higher rated drama/MT programs where most grads aren't similarly jobless after graduation?[/quote] There aren't any. Successful actors who went to good schools - Jodie Foster, Natalie Portman - were already famous by the time they enrolled. A swanky degree does nothing for auditions in NY or LA. In fact, it's probably more costly to disappear from professional gigs from ages 18-22. A drama degree is nothing more than a hobby for rich kids. Arts and entertainment are not degree-driven industries. The most successful actors don't have any degrees at all. Maybe some improv programs. Or certain acting or voice coaches. But no one serious is taking four years to study in Pittsburg. [/quote]
