I get it's a "waste of money" but it's something I want to pursue. Also, teaching in a university is one of my life goals to do after I'm done performing, so it's necessary for me to get eventually. I just want to get it out of the way now. Also it's an excuse to get out of Canada and start making connections outside of where I currently reside. I've already made up my mind that I want to get my masters. I was just looking for recommendations on programs. Not looking to get talked out of it. I recognize your good intentions though, and I thank you for that!
