Thread Name: Educated folk? The folk degree
Subject: RE: Educated folk? The folk degree
Keith, I'm curious. Other than teaching, what kind of job options will the graduates have? I can't imagine that a degreed band will have much of an advantage over a non-degreed one when a venue hires a band, can you?

I can see where such a degree might be helpful if one's goal is teaching, or perhaps research (provided some institution can be identified that would pay for research being done on folk music). But I wonder what variety of jobs might be available to graduates.

Cans someone enlighten me?
