Do you have any advice for somebody trying to make/play music for a living? My parents, understandably, aren't quite sold on the whole going to college for a music technology degree thing.
well, getting a music degree would be the opposite of making a living from music. to get a music degree, you are supposed to pay THEM, and it might not make you any better at music, and it certainly won't help you get any music jobs. the only jobs it MIGHT help you get,... (in the past maybe,) are actually non-music jobs, when they used to care about a degree. i don't actually even know what a degree is so maybe i'm wrong about this anyway but i'm pretty sure it's nothing and becomes even more nothing with each passing day
