We get it. The days of high-flying record execs are (mostly) gone. It’s a lot harder for artists to make money from streaming than it was with physical music products like vinyl and CDs. Like most industries, the music business is constantly evolving. That means there’s a lot of room for independent artists to find financial success and for career music professionals to grow in the industry and create new sources of income.
So, if music is your passion and makes you happier than anything else you could do in the world, then yes, music is a good career choice.
That said, knowledge is power. It’s important to know about the education and skills required for careers in the music industry, the salary and work lifestyle you can expect, and how to get a foot in the door.
