<p>If you’re looking to go into the country music industry as a musician/artist, then don’t bother with school. I know wonderful artists who are wasting their time at school when they could be out searching for real record deals. Either you have talent to make it or you don’t.</p>
<p>If you’re looking to get in with a record company, yes school I guess would be important, but what’s more important is finding the right internships and making those connections. The music/media business is so hard to get into that you can not just rely on a good school and degree to be able to do the work for you. There is also no time to waste, and if you actually think you have the talent to make it out there start fighting for a career now.</p>
