Hi. Get specific - what exactly do you want to do within the music industry? Read up on the various options you have, if you need ideas. It's always helpful to play an instrument, if you don't already - so you understand musicians and you are educated in that way. But if you are more interest in the business-only side, then that may not be necessary. Maybe try to get into radio? Try your local college station - see if they need any on-air help, or any help at all at the station. You would be around music all of the time - get a feel for that end of things. Decide if you are an "out there" public person or more behind the scenes. You don't have to decide today! You're still young and will find your way. Don't give up and enjoy all aspects of the industry - learn the ins and outs of it all. There are scads of books written on the subject. Start on amazon.com - they sell many books on the music industry. I wish you well!
