BS/Education, 12/1982

 

[MidTennMtneer]

BS Recording Industry '02. In Cummings, Beasley, and Gracie. Lived off campus senior year.
Realized Jr year I didn't want my major (thanks to Legal Problems of the Recording Industry class) but was young and dumb and wanted out of school so I focused on my Business Admin Minor.

One of my biggest regrets in life is not staying one more year to graduate in Entrepreneurship.

The recording industry program is fantastic

The recording industry program is fantastic

It is. But after the project in that class of writing a recording contract and seeing someone like Garth Brooks made less than $0.20 per CD sold, I couldn't stand it. Didn't want to produce or be an exec for major labels, but to survive on your own you had to have a name for yourself. To make that you had to work for the labels. I refused.

Nowadays 20yrs later it is much different. An artist can be independent and make it. Market on socials, YouTube, etc. And a producer can work with them. Still don't regret my business focus though. I've been an entrepreneur and I love what I do now, just wish my degree matched with it more.

Lesson learned.

BBA 1985. University enrollment was approximately 11,000 back then. Available parking was bad in the 80's. Despite enrollment close to doubling since the early to mid '80s parking may be better now than then? Not positive though, rarely on campus outside of Saturday game day.

Everyone complains about it but they’ve never gone to some other schools if they think it’s bad here. South Carolina was horrible.

I never understood the parking issues. We had over 20k when I was there with zero parking garages. I parked in the exact same spot by what used to be the intramural fields every day.

Of course...I took all early classes at 8am. Even 7am one semester. 🤣 I was done by noon walking back in the door while my roommates where just walking out, hunting a parking spot for 30min, and not back till dinner.
