i love music

career-choice teaching
Thank you comment icon Jeff, Do you enjoy listening to or performing music, or choosing music as part of a video you are making? You want a career ideally that includes skills you are good at, you enjoy and whose values are important to yo u, such as travelling, working solo or as part of a team, name recognition, etc.You probably want 2 different career tests for validity. https://brainmanager.io/career-test?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=career_test&msclkid=ac4f65fa61eb14c533a002b9aa23a03b&utm_term=what%20job%20is%20for%20you%20quiz&utm_content=career%20test%20breed Then look into different jobs in the music field, such as a sound engineer, a music therapist, etc, and if there are jobs available, even though you are not qualified yet, Katie Schwartz, CCC-SLP

Jerome’s Answer

It’s all about trial and error. I think attending job fairs and networking are good ways to go. You can speak with multiple people and see how they feel about their work.

I also think taking various electives can give you visibility into multiple disciplines. You never know where you will find something that you enjoy..
