what should I major in if I want to work for a record label in nashville one day?
When i'm in college I plan on getting an internship at a record label in nashville and one day I want to work for a record label in Nashville but i'm not sure what I should major in to get me prepared for that job. The problem is I don't want to be a music major because I don't want to PLAY music I just want to work in the music business because that is what i'm good at and passionate about. Any advice?

Answer 1 :
you can major in music bussiness or audio engineering
Answer 2 :
in general you don't need a degree for anything in the music industry if you know the right people. the biggest thing is to get a foot in the door somewhere and to meet people and network. schooling isn't always the way to do this because of the money you end up spending on something that doesn't matter. you may be able to get an internship at a label and major in something totally different. then you can stay at the studio, or pursue something with your degree. the music business is hard to get into. going to school wont promise you anything at all in this industry. a good well rounded degree is communications. there are also options for music business and things like that, but it limits you in the long run if the music business doesn't work out. if you're trying to get into the industry to make a lot of money, chances are you wont make much at all. at least not for a while. i would try to get into the label without school. if you get your foot in the door, a degree wont mean anything unless you leave the music business. good luck
