All his life, Dylan loved music — loved the way it felt to play it, to hear it. The way it went out into the world and changed things.
The only thing he didn't love about music was its job prospects. Not that they aren't out there for guys as good as Dylan, he just didn't see himself on America's Got Talent anytime soon. Dylan thought that he'd like a little more security, so he decided to investigate alternative routes toward gainful employment.
(Lucky him, most people only consider this idea after four years of costly college. Oy vey.)
Anyway, in came the uSooth scientists.
With Dylan, they mapped his data and looked for the intersection where his strong mathematical aptitude crossed his creative, artistic motivation. A unique fellow, indeed. After careful deliberation, they gave the musician a tour of his new paths: marketing, business and Law. While they were at it, the career gurus confirmed his suspicion: he makes great music - but his career interests (regardless of his aptitudes) don't match the guys in the jazz band on Letterman.
There was a moment where nothing moved. As Dylan pondered the possibilities, the scientists looked at each other, wondering how he'd take it. What would the mighty musician say?
A ray of light landed on him and "Dream Weaver" began to play. The Career Scientists smiled.
"It was unsettling," Dylan said. "But in a good way."
He might have meant the "Dream Weaver," but we don't think so.
In any event, Dylan's decided to major in finance. He'd always been good at math but never really looked at it with career-tinted goggles. And it seems he'll add a double in marketing or accounting. Following that, he's looking down that uSooth path to law school.
Essentially, you could call it a total redirection of his life-force. Not that he'll be giving up on the music, of course.
"I just won't be studying it," he said.
