Interesting first post.
My undergrad is also in Theatre and now I work outside the industry as a teacher - not teaching drama - but I feel like I use what I learned in my degree every single day.
You do so many different things through a theatre degree; that versatility is something which sets me apart from my colleagues. Also, learning how to project and talk “properly” is huge.
In addition, developing the ability to work with very creative teams is invaluable in so many different facets of life.
I seriously think there is no better degree than a generalist theatre degree, with some acting, some tech, and some design, for giving someone the broadest range of applicable skills to any job or industry anywhere.
