ARTICLE: What can you "do" with a degree in theatre?...

[nmno]

A link I came across via a friend...  Helpful for those looking to transition out of theatre, applying for jobs outside of theatre to supplement income or just those needing a reminder that we have valuable and marketable skills.

That is really interesting, my parents aren't exactly happy about me possibly majoring in stagemanagment or theatre, but this article helped sway at least my dad. Thanks

Thank you for posting this article. It made me feel better after seeing an article a couple of days ago "The 10 most useless degrees" with theatre at number 3.

The other article about the most "useless" degrees was whack! They didn't add any technical positions into their counts probably cause that would throw off their preconceived notions. Not every theatre person is an actor/director/producer.

Much the same idea as the other list, but this one seems a little more written from the perspective of someone actually working in business now...
