no no, you are devoted to music and you just work in whatever job comes along right?

my wife does something like that, she's a filmmaker/videographer, and while in between projects she works as a substitute teacher.

because she has a master's degree (in some wankery humanities field) she gets $80 for an easy day playing with kids, rather than i think $60 with a bachelor's, or beign unemployable without degree. now that's not a lot of money but in 10 days of work it pays the rent.

recently they offered her $120 a day for some special shit but she turned it down so she can have days off. (of course when working in video projects she makes lots more, but those obey an unpredictable pattern.)

in a lot of jobs your payscale will go up with a degree, all other things being equal.

the other thing though, the librarian will have health benefits, retirement, etc,-- that counts as part of the pay.

now a plumber makes more than anyone but that's another story.
