Hello everyone, I’m going to be choosing my colleges soon and I have a few questions id like to ask but before that ill give you guys some background.

I am looking to have a career in the Music Industry, as of now I want to either become a booking agent or artist manager but I am still not sure. I plan on doing internships at labels to really see what I want to do but as of now those are the two majors careers i’m looking at. I also don’t know how to play any instruments (novice at the guitar).

So the questions i have are

1. Should I get a degree in business and minor in music management/industry to keep it safe (This field is hard so I can always fall back on my business degree)

2. Should I stay in NYC (schools in NJ as well) or go to L.A (which location will give me more opportunities in the music business field)

3. What schools will be my best choice (It would really help me out if you guys would give me a list of schools for the area you think I should attend, keep in mind i’m looking for schools that don’t require an audition and have that option to minor music business/industry)

Thank you so much! I’m very torn between L.A and NYC and also if I should get a business degree and minor since I can always fall back on it.
