Well, I'm deeply in debt and yesterday I was supposed to sing backup for Sarah Brightman (don't go there!) and she CANCELLED, so I'm out $145 I was expecting to get (rumor has it we'll get something to make up for the time we allocated -- and rescheduled/cancelled students!)... but I still don't regret going back to school after 30 for my MM. It was the best thing I have ever done and I DID come out ahead artistically and personally.
