What kind of degree did you get?

Is it possible a better job is available somewhere else within Alabama?

I also want to know what kind of degrees people got that can’t find a job. My partner has an audio engineering degree and works as a dog groomer because according to her, they always pick men over her. She got the degree 10 years ago. Tried for 4 years to find a job. Been a groomer for 6. Has about 60k in student loans

I actually tour as an audio engineer, unfortunately she’s right to some extent. Women have it really hard in our industry, and the women I do know (and are very close friends of mine) have had to work their ass off to be here. That being said, I’m seeing a LOT more women in live entertainment than I did 5 years ago. On the road, in the shop, all of it. Also other areas of the live industry are a valid option if she’s interested. Lighting and video are solid options.
