What do you love about music? To begin with, everything...

I love everything about music. I don't like going a day without music and when I do, I'm eager to listen to it. Music makes me happy. I've been to 56 concerts in my lifetime and I plan on going to as many as life permits me too. I can NEVER attend too many concerts. Without music, life would be quiet and miserable.

"I've never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life may have in store for you, music itself is not going to let you down" - Virgil Thomson

Life After Graduation

The next step after graduation is to find a job. Well, easier said than done. I have been out of school for ten months and 21 days and have had four UNPAID internships. I have applied to numerous companies and I always hear the same thing..."We have reviewed the qualifications of each candidate and after careful consideration, we have determined that the credentials of other candidates may better fit our needs at this time. We will keep your resume on file and will contact you should another opportunity become available that better matches your skills and experience."

They are ENTRY LEVEL JOBS! How the F do you expect me to get experience and gain the skills I need to work at a PR firm if NO ONE will hire me?!?! I can't be working for free for the rest of my life!

I honestly don't know where to go from here. I'm seriously considering writing these companies who have told me I don't have the right experience and skills, and ask them what I should do. Are four internships not enough?!?!
