<p>In my opinion Music Industry is the kind of major that enables you to find jobs after graduation with more certainty than pure performance majors have. It’s a technical kind of degree but, with your interest in composing and playing, you wil also have the creative chops. I think it sounds smart. If you can pay the bills while working in the field of music and being around other musicians, then, why not?</p>
<p>I am also a parent who believes that students should go with what they love, not what they think is “practical” (unless they love it!)–but, it sounds like you can have both worlds.</p>
