Jen, It was exactly my experience of living in small towns vs. major metros that prompted my comment.
Mark, I was conscious about posting "off-topic". I'm sure that healthcare does figure into it, but I think there are much larger considerations that are on most students minds, especially since most are more or less healthy, and more or less covered while they are young. Not many of them have much experience being sick. For example, much more present to my mind would be concern about the future of music in general, or what kind of lifestyle and social status it would afford. I WAS sick in college, and I never thought about health care in relation to a music career.
I suspect that the availability of jobs is more affected by government healthcare, than are students decisions. In part more jobs may be possible because employers don't have the added expense. Also, European governments seem to do a much better job of supporting the arts, and as a result I expect there are more jobs available. For example, they have state funded instrument building schools and apprenticeships. Also they mostly have their college paid for, so they don't have immense loans, which opens more doors. Still, the actual availability of access to care, and the quality of care is not the same thing as being covered. So, there is a tradeoff.
