Hey Guys,
Just wanted to post a quick question and gather some opinions.

I just graduated college with a Communications degree (I was unsure of a direct route to take, but I felt I needed some guidance and to be honest, wanted the college experience). I was also able to study abroad in London and travel around Europe which was a great character building experience.

All along I've wanted to be in the music industry in one way or another, but now this passion is stronger than ever. I found a program at Berklee College of Music to get my masters in Music Business and Global Entertainment...BUT it is based in Valencia, Spain. Now I wouldn't normally be gung-ho about futhering my education in an institutionalized setting, but being that I would be able to travel more (a huge plus for me), and gather more worldly opinions within the industry, it would help me when STARTING my own business within the music industry after (which is my goal).

What do you guys think? It's only a year program, with a lot of useful classes (as it highlights entrepreneurialism within the music industry) and it could give me the opportunity to network overseas, work with internships, and acquire more knowledge first hand of the industry from professionals.

Thoughts?

I appreciate any and all of your input!

Thanks,
Alec
