Re: what to do with my life?


quit with the indian !@#$ chief.

going to school for music is retarded.

50k down the drain and you end up with a gig as a roadie plugging in light fixtures and speakers.


WOMP WOMP WOMMMMMMMMP.

Re: what to do with my life?


that's true, but you've got to start somewhere.

If it's what he wants to do with hi life, I don't see why he shouldn't.

Re: what to do with my life?


of course he can do what he wants, but he dedicated a thread asking for our advice. so here you are;

you need to be smart and selective when choosing what field and where you're getting education.

music degrees ain't always marketable. i know people who have made it(on tv) that will tell you-- you can do the same !@#$ without a music degree that you can with it, without paying $50,000 to get there.

artistic talent isn't anything you can manufacture. you have a good ear, or you don't. sure, it can be nurtured, but you won't just pull it out of your ass. and if you ain't got it, there's no amount of education that will give it to you.

even a musician with talent-- a degree won't get you signed or necessarily even get your foot in the door.. the hardest thing of "making it" in the business is the marketing, networking, and promotion side of it.. not the musical aspect.

you might find some connects, but hell you can also save your 50 grand and make the same connects by putting yourself out there and networking with hard work. for each producer or artist you can name that got in the door from school, there's dozens with no degree in ANYTHING.

you should enter a degree field that is easily marketable and is going to help you forge a nice stable career-- even if it is outside of music. that way you have something for the rest of your life if the music gig doesn't work out. don't want to put all your eggs in one basket.. that industry is difficult and unstable.

you don't want to be 35, looking back at those 15 years "hustling" without !@#$ to show for it.

and this can't be stressed enough..

DON'T COME OUT OF COLLEGE WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ALREADY ACCUMULATED IN DEBT FROM STUDENT LOANS!

!@#$ ain't a joke, will stay with you until your dead. if debt is being racked up, better make DAMN SURE there's some degree of stability and certainty in the profession you enter when you graduate..

and no matter what anyone tells you, you're NEVER guaranteed to make that in the music industry.

Re: what to do with my life?


I'm doing my degree to become a primary school teacher. you need a degree of any subject to become a teacher here. I am good at music and therefor can get a degree without much effort.

the music industry doesn't interest me at all and I can't see why it would to anyone else.

Re: what to do with my life?


Do what you think is right man. If you can spend your days doing something you like then you're set, but yeah keep the future in mind. Maybe do both, you have the rest of your life to do it.
