Sandwich Artist job outlook: Expert opinions
Our panel of sandwich artist experts
The University of Southern Mississippi
Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Sandwich Artists?
Dr. Ashley Allen Ph.D.: In terms of employment, I hope not. Right now, there is an impact in all levels of education (PreK-higher education) because of the uncertainty of what education will "look like" in this time of COVID, and specifically what making music will look like. There are also budget issues because of lower-than-normal enrollment and the uncertainty of education in these times. I am hoping that the job market will open back up for music educators, even as early as spring 2021, but right now, we just don't know. I will say that we had great success in placing our recent music education graduates, even in these times. So it is possible to find a good job as a recent graduate, even now.
In terms of life, absolutely. We are all going through stages of grief and recovery as we navigate this new reality. We are also learning how to innovate, grow, and hopefully be more mindful of our own self-care and work-life balance. I think we are being forced to reexamine all of these things, as there are limits right now to what we can accomplish, endure, and overcome, both physically and emotionally. I think those things will last a lifetime for all of us who have lived through 2020, and will hopefully change us for the better moving forward.
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Sandwich Artists to find work opportunities?
Alison Petty Ragguette: Most teaching opportunities are online at the moment. Our alums who graduate did gain some online teaching skills, so I would say they have an advantage.
