I actually went there for my masters; I got my undergraduate degree in another state. The professors at this school really love me and I really love them…I just hope they'll let me come back.

1. I am changing my mind about wanting an academic job although I'm not 100% committed to it. I just want to be in music somehow and that looks like the only way to do it in any satisfying way.
2. I do want to do it for its own sake, just to say I have a doctorate and I made it to the pinnacle of education in my field.
And the only jobs available that I would be qualified for at the moment would be entry level retail, which I'm technically overqualified for. Otherwise, most other jobs I could possibly get I wouldn't have needed an undergrad degree.
