You've heard it plenty of times. You say "I got a music degree," "I went to music college." "I'm going to be a professional musician." (Professional drummer in my case). They say "What're you gonna do with that?" and all of a sudden you're stuck explaining your career choices to a stranger. It happens to us all. I think there are some good ways to handle this and some not so good. I just want to share my quick thoughts on what you should say when they say "What're you gonna do with that?"
