Prologue: Maestrowick's Three Part series

There has been a great dialogue going here about the Composition degree(S), jobs, schools etc. Therefore, I decided to write an abridged thread on three topics (and to also keep from multiple threads year after year.) The topics shall be:

1)Composition Matriculation

2) Composition jobs/commission

3) Miscellaneous (anything I've missed)

I will composite answers and things to think about about our beloved field. Now some may, who am I to give such advice. Well, I need not get into an ego battle or "I have this degree", I'm here to help whoever because I love what I do and I love to help people!

If there's any other specific things you want me to answer (if I can), Ask them here and I'll put them in

I hope you'll enjoy!

(thanks to ComposerOrganist, Black Orpheus, The J, Mogri, and Magna Carta for the dialogue!)
