<p>Well, there’s always Nick Mason that studied architecture before turning on to drums for Pink Floyd (3 of the band’s members did study architecture in fact). In fact there are quite a few people who studied architecture before turning into music. </p>
<p>But reality is that music is a field that is far more competitive than architecture. A good architect can find a job and make a living without having to be a Starchitect. In music, skills generally are classified into 3 wide ranges, the ‘amateur / plays with friends’ range, the ‘good enough to teach music at the local academy or play in a club’ range, and ‘beyond’ range. Cracking the ‘beyond’ range is tricky and requires a solid education, talent, and connections in the industry. </p>
