So, You Graduated Summa Cum Laude?

When I was in my practicum classes during the last semester at EKU, I recall one of my professors, saying, "what you have earned, this paper that declares your achievement, this diploma can never be taken away from you"...He, was right, but boy has the game changed. The game plan, and its entirety seems a bit harder to play...much less come out winning.

As a college grad, I now work a job outside of my home, I write freelance for TWO different media facets and am currently speaking with someone about Sports Writing. Sports Writing? Sure, I'm educated in some different sports facets...but did I ever envision that I would even consider, much less send writing samples to an MVP of the Sports Writing empire via web? Nope, absolutely never, ever...e-v-e-r.

So, my music blog this week salutes the hard working people that are currently working one, two...four jobs or more in fields of work they never thought they'd put an effort towards, or those of you who dedicate your lives in a field or body of work that they absolutely love....not loathe.
