I'm sure glad that none of those who have followed the "liberal arts" path - nor any of their distinguished professors - suffer from these maladies.
I'm continuing to pick up on overt expression of prejudices and locked-in stereotypes against those who make their living through a craft...
..."That's why I believe that living a full and varied life..."
Here's a provocative question for you:
Now that you're beyond your own big introductory four-year "liberal arts" enrichment experience, between 6:15 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. each weekday (probably around 60% of your waking hours until age 65) how much does your life vary vs. how much the typical orchestral musician's (or other craftsman's)life varies?
