Career Prospects in music

[DanGo1]

There is a very interesting and to me surprising article in today's
Daily Telegraph about the 'Percentage of students likely to end up in
graduate employment or further study 15 months after graduating'. Of
the best 10 the Royal College of Music came second with 88.3% behind
Imperial College London, the Arts Education Schools were sixth with
85.8% and the Royal Northern College of Music tenth with 80.9%. Not at
all the kind of result that I would have expected. Of course it doesn't
tell you what the employment actually is or indeed whether it is music
or arts related as I believe a considerable proportion of graduates end
up in unrelated occupations. But encouraging news for those musically
inclined?

Thanks for the information.

Good day to you, friends. Music is a very strict discipline, no matter what anyone says. It's an art that takes years of practice to master. We put part of our soul into it. It so happens that quite a large percentage of people don't take music seriously. It's especially noticeable now against the backdrop of such consumerism. If we talk about career growth in music marketing, the first thing that comes to mind is starting at an early age, then going to music school, and then getting a diploma. However, it is difficult for a musician to get a job. More often than not, people end up either dropping out or continuing to play for their self-development, but they don't have jobs in their specialty. The other type is self-taught. This path also requires a lot of persistence. But such people most often do not aspire to become great musicians and play only for themselves or their.

I think we should encourage them as much as possible.
