Hey, 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: whatever you do, Abby, don't take this please, don't take 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: it accusatory, don't take it derogatory. Nothing. It's just a question. 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: It's just a question because you're in the same position 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: as a lot of people. You've filled it on the 6 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: show in the last three years. You're a graduate of 7 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: u of M. Has been two and a half years 8 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: since a graduated a year. 9 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 2: And a half, yeah, I think I think it was 10 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 2: like almost three years. 11 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: But you haven't You got your degree, yes, but you 12 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: haven't gotten a job. 13 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 3: Not a full time job, not a full time, multiple 14 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 3: part time job, but. 15 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: Not really what you're what you want to be doing. 16 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: You're not in a full time gig. You by saying that, 17 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: I mean you're like a lot of people right now. 18 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: People are getting out of college, they're not they're not 19 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: getting jobs. There's a lot of people not getting jobs anyway, 20 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that do have jobs and 21 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: the AI's coming in and screwed with everything. But now, 22 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: I guess my question is you're going for a grad 23 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: degree even though you haven't. You didn't get a job, 24 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: and again that that's don't take it the wrong way. Yeah, 25 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm just questioning, like, you're going to spend more money 26 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: on a grad degree? Yes, why? 27 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 3: I just think I wanted to get more involved with, 28 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 3: like the people in the music industry, because that is 29 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 3: how you get jobs in the music industry. It's more 30 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 3: about who you know than your skills, I guess. 31 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: But so you're not getting a grad degree, You're not 32 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: going to go at u of M. You're now going 33 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: to Belmont. Yeah, so the program now it's starting to 34 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: paint a clearer picture because you love Nashville. I do 35 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: love the music industry. So now I'm figuring it out 36 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: because otherwise I'm like, well, the degree didn't get you 37 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: so far, I mean at least so far. Yeah, but 38 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: not just you. A lot of people they get out 39 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: of college, they spend all this money, they don't have 40 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: a job, and they're doing something they didn't even know 41 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: they really have to go to school for, you know, 42 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: So now you're getting your grad degree. Yeah, I applaud you. 43 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: That's good, thank you. 44 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 3: It's it's all online, so I don't have to actually 45 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 3: like move to Nashville. 46 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: But how do you meet people?
