I highly recommend reading this piece. It was a great character study and insight in to a process I am unfamiliar with. You have to feel for the guy that didn't get tenure, the scene in his new apartment was heart wrenching to read. The fact that he can no longer hold time in his auditions due to his fallen confidence is really sad.
The following quote is something that I think all highly driven individuals can connect with, "Give me success or take this desire away from me. One of the two."
Great piece. Thanks for posting and welcome to Hubski.

I can't imagine training my entire life, dedicating countless hours and emotional capital towards something only to find out I'm not good enough to perform at the level I aspire to. Can you imagine what it must be like to be a forever minor league ball player or the stand in for a great actor? Some people just never get the shot or when it is given to them, they choke. For this reason, I find the olympics difficult to watch.
