We are all living in our version of Detroit, where the stable, predictable opportunities are gone. I get a lot of questions from artists and arts administrators about what their career path should be. So here's a friendly reminder: There is no such thing as a career path. We are well past the days when a person could reasonably expect a fairly linear path from one job or gig to the next. That's true for the arts and I think that's true for most other career paths.
