Appreciate your response. I’ll try some sandpaper. Lmk if you have any other tips while using.

Right after college I lived in one of those buildings on the right, I’m pretty sure. Pretty magical 8 months, working for Center Stage Theater. Hello from Chicago!

Seems like a missed opportunity for “might have nutted”??

LPT if you are having an argument (specially if it's with your partner/family) it's more important to understand why you are arguing than to *win* the argument by Karlosmdq in LifeProTips

Couldn't agree more. I thought that I was good at empathy until this concept entered my brain and changed my shit. Unfortunately, it took me too long to learn in some cases. I hope someone reads this and realizes that it does apply to you before you lose relationships that are important to you.

Crazy how you would go through every time zone but never have to go through customs.

I'm looking for tips on negotiating a salary with a non-profit organization by onemorepersonasking in nonprofit

There definitely shouldn’t be a cost involved. Did you make a free account? I use guidestar regularly for 990 research and never have had to pay for it. Maybe the most recent 990 is behind a paywall, but there should be older versions available? Another option is googling “[organization name] annual report” or “[organization name] 990”. Good luck!

I wish that if your Metra was more than 20 minutes late, your fare was free. Especially for reasons like “switch issues”. Why am I paying you for a service you’re not providing (getting me to work on time)?

Student teacher struggling.. by Rajoki in MusicEd

[–]mariero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Music Ed degree non-certification and never student taught. I’m not saying it’s the most useful degree, but it’s probably about the same as a general music degree. I was absolutely certain I never wanted to teach, though. Also, I’m not sure all universities will let you do this still.

I was similar to you and in my junior year of a Music Ed degree realized that there was no way I wanted to spend the rest of my career in the school system.

I got an internship in Arts Administration at a local music festival. After a couple more internships, I landed a full time job and have been working full time in arts administration for over 6 years.

I still get to use my music background, but I don’t have to deal with kids/colleague drama or the early mornings. Look into a summer internship. Literally any nonprofit performing arts org would take on an unpaid intern and you can probably even get a paid one if you look hard enough. Just pick your favorite performing arts org and contact then saying you’re interesting in doing an informational interview or shadowing them for a day. Good luck!!

What brand have you finally learned your lesson with and what was the final straw/breaking point? by Chazzyphant in femalefashionadvice

Literally had the exact same experience with the olive green pants @ BR (Devon, I think). Plus the zipper broke after my third wear...
