Hangry

By Prodigy - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I ran into a former college classmate at Subway. He gushed on and on about how I was the only one in our class with true potential. Then I asked him what kind of sandwich he wanted, because 3 years out of college, Subway is still the only place that will hire a music major. FML

Quit whining, all of us musicians know the risk we're taking when we try to make it a career.

Go back and get another degree- one with some form of job security. You should have known any art degree wouldn't get you anywhere especially in this economy.

this is what happens when I get food huh? *goes to corner*

I even know not to major in music and I'm 13

Goddamn, you're dumb. First, your age has nothing to do with your knowledge, you're simply repeating whatever the people before you have said about not majoring in a creative field. Second of all, you're relaly ignorant. Second, I'm tired of this judgment of people's personal choices. I know I want to go into either writing or art, and I've tried to dodge that decision for years because I know either field is rocky terrain and financially unstable, but I've got no other choice because I would rather work very hard to get to a place I love than have it easy in a job that I hate with a passion. Seriously - creative majors KNOW that the fields they want to enter into are competitive and difficult to survive in. I know my job will be hard work. I know things will get difficult, but I'm willing to work anyway because I LOVE ART AND WRITING. I could NEVER be happy doing anything else, so I don't have another choice. Please consider that what makes money is not necessarily what breeds happiness.

Today, I read this and cried. I am a music major. FML.

But you play the tuba, so you're awesome ready.

This is so sad. I hope life gets better for you.

Don't give up hope. One of my friends plays in an actual, popular orchestra. True story. :P

as someone who has wasted his life with music even I know your not getting a job with a degree in music FYL because that's the job you have but YDI for getting a degree in music

I have faith in you. you'll find something sooner or later. :)

YDI for being a music major. Just like a theater major...it's a joke. What are you HONESTLY going to do with that? Some people are smart and think it through. You'd never see a chemistry/psychology major working at subway would you? No.
