Pop/Rock Musicians

The sky can be the limit when it comes to advancing in the music industry. Once musicians have made the right connections, they may find themselves with record deals, national concert dates, awards, and a great deal of media attention. On the other hand, the majority of musicians never hit it big and must work very hard to make a marginal living in the field. Because of this reality, many musicians pursue rewarding concurrent careers as music educators, music therapists, music historians, disc jockeys, or recording engineers, or they work in occupations that are unrelated to music.
