    I used to think like you do. It’s a very narrow world view though, and a little bit sad even. Movies, tv, theatre, and music. Those are all probably things you enjoy and spend a great deal of time with, and yet you criticize it and look down on them for it.

      We’re talking about ex theatre majors, not people who work in media. I went to a college with a renowned theatre program and I can say first hand that they are easily the most insufferable people of any major. I’ll admit that has colored my opinion quite a bit. The entertainment industry is notoriously nepotistic and the only people from my class that had success were those with rich dads who were connected in the entertainment scene. This breeds contempt amongst them and it’s palpable when you are hanging out with them.
