If you’re like me then you’ve probably heard that you should go to college and get a degree. It is a fact that on average university graduates earn about $20,000 dollars more per year than high school graduates.(1)It’s easy to see how school helps if you want to be a doctor or a lawyer but what if you want to break into the music business, should you go to school? Like any other professional, school definitely opens doors but if you don’t have the drive to go through those doors you will never make it.
The entertainment industry is a very exciting industry to get into, that being said it is very competitive. Having a degree in music business helps, but not as much as making connections and using those connections to get ahead in your career. Almost every program you will take will force you to do an internship afterward to gain experience. This is the most important aspect to the program, choose your company wisely and work hard to get ahead!
Having received a Bachelor’s in History, an Audio Engineering Degree, and a Masters in Business has allowed to me to grow as a person, but education alone will not get you anywhere.
Here you will find a link to a list of schools that teach music business and audio engineering courses in USA. If you have gone to any of these schools make a comment and tell people what you think.
