Getting a decent playing job, at least in an orchestra these days, is next to impossible because there are so few openings each year and so many qualified applicants. At least with a DMA you would also be qualified to teach in a university , but those are getting to be in the same boat, far to many qualified, far to few jobs. If you do decide to do another degree I suggest you learn to play the bass clarinet and Eb clarinet as well and learn the repertoire. It's far from a guarantee but it at least opens more possibilities. You should also look into doing a minor in something else you're interested in to have something to fall back on until you can make a living playing, if you ever can. I have something on my website about jobs and auditions, check it out and good luck. Getting an orchestra job today may be the most difficult profession in America, and Canada, today.
