Extremely difficult.

And if you were going to pick three conservatories to make such an extreme statement about ("you will probably land upon a great job"), I would not have chosen those other two.

There are exponentially more PHENOMENAL oboists graduating from dozens of top-notch conservatories worldwide each year than there are top-flight orchestral positions waiting for them.

I am a Juilliard alum, as are many of my friends, and very few of us have "landed a great job". It a hard, hard row to hoe and a very difficult way to make a living; just going to a good school guarantees you absolutely nothing.

Unfortunately, there are many who go to these schools who think that is the case, and the rude awakening they experience is often quite painful.
