music and art require an affinity towards the subject , and there are virtually no job prospects in it . The point of school isn ' t to train you for a job . Thanks to doing music in school , I have spent a fairly large chunk of my life involved in musical activities , from band in school to singing groups and other ensembles and operas and such in college to composing and music directing and running a website featuring transcriptions of folk music . I am musically literate , and this means that I can participate in culture better than if I weren ' t . I don ' t need to earn money from music I ' m not sure if I could do so very easily at this point , but in life I do things other than my day job . <| sep |> People who purposely speak with incorrect grammar . How has this become common lingo ?
