What's the future for music majors?

<p>Veronica123,</p>

<p>One of the college admissions persons suggested we get this book: “Beyond Talent: Creating a Successful Career in Music” by Angela Myles Beeching. This was back when my son was a HS junior and we, his parents, were getting used to his desire to be a music (non-education) major. I skimmed the book, but my son read it. I got the idea that there may be no salaried job per se waiting out there for you but you make your living throught a patchwork of performing gigs, giving lessons, etc. Scary, but music was/is the only thing of interest to son, so no choice for his parents but to be supportive! I am hoping that son develops some other interests and skills within music, besides playing and arranging, such as technology or composition, that will enhance his income making potential.</p>
