| This is a really interesting question, given the passion of most music students. But...how many people in general make their living at their college major? My daughter is planning to be a music major, but whether she will be a professional singer or not is not really the point. Music students at least have 4 years to delve into a subject that excites them in a way most people don't ever have the opportunity, whether they make a living at it later or not. Most undergrad programs are not trade school programs but a decidedly impractical advanced education. There is still value in that. |
