You could look into a career as a music therapist. This field blends the passion for music and teaching with the satisfaction of serving in the healthcare field. And it’s most definitely a viable career path.

DUSKO’s Answer

I recommend post production or game audio, though both industries have recently been rocked.

Also, youre competing with obsession so expect to grind if you want this as a career.

I believe that effective teachers need to have real world experience and accolades, but I could be wrong.

Jessica’s Answer

If you want to teach music i believe that you are required to have a bachelor's degree. If you look on some sites they may offer online courses. I would first look into a school that fits your needs of what you like and then do comparisons of other schools.

Gilbert’s Answer

Hi Zachary - I've worked in the music industry previously, and there are plenty of jobs that revolve around the music business that would be financially stable. I'd recommend looking into music business internships with record labels or streaming companies.

Looks like you are in NYC, which is a great place to be for this industry.

Network and look for people in the music business on LinkedIn.

George F’s Answer

I've known people who've earned advanced degrees, and ended up with with teaching gigs in college.

I know those whose wives\partners have been a source of steady income.

Another possibility is to become someone in demand. This takes a combination of ability and political savvy.
Thank you comment icon I appreciate this, thank you for the advice. Zachary
