Episode 18: Supermodel Standards?!

Are you tired of the expectations that the music industry has put on you?

When you look at the job postings for an academic job, it almost seems like they are looking for a unicorn that has all the bells and whistles. They want you to be an expert, not only in your main niche, but to teach practically anything under the sun, while leaving time for research, recruitment, and more. And the best part is (insert sarcasm here…), the institution will pay you an unfitting wage and rarely offer you zero health benefits.

This standard is the same that the fashion and beauty industry has on its consumers. Women often feel an immense pressure to look like the supermodels who are the mystical unicorns within the industry. This is unrealistic and we are encouraging you to celebrate what makes YOU unique.

It’s okay…you can skip the line! For the musician, the traditional way was to go to school, obtain a degree, then apply to a zillion applications to maybe (just maybe) get a “yes” from the music panel. Guess what?! Times are changing and the music industry is changing, too! You can skip the line and be your own boss. Sit in the driver’s seat and say “yes” to yourself and to your career. Work with the people who motivate and inspire you, while making a living!
