Answer 1 :
Nashville's a wonderful city. It's pretty clean and the people are friendly. You can almost normally find a job in what particularly interests you. If you want to be a songwriter/producer, I would suggest Memphis, TN, though. Nashville may be the home of Country Music, but not many hopefuls come from there. Memphis is a better place if you want to be a songwriter- they're more open to it. The reason not many hopefuls come from Nashville is because there are already several country music stars that moved to Nashville (Keith Urban, Kellie Pickler, Tim McGraw, etc) so they want more proffessionals working in Nashville. Memphis, though, has open arms.
Answer 2 :
Nashville is cool but i want to put Memphis on your mind moved here from South Carolina and loving it

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

Answer 1 :
Not sure...Cleveland?
Answer 2 :
The Closet is Chicago's US cellular field is closer to Nashville then Tropicana Field in Tampa/St. Pete. Root for the PALE HOSE
Answer 3 :
Chicago is the closest. Cleveland, KC and Detroit are less than 100 miles further away than Chicago.
Answer 4 :
Bad place to be if you want to go to an American League team's games. The closest is 471 miles away, the Chicago White Sox. Cleveland has the Indians 522 miles away. But if you're going to be there all summer, why write off the National League? They play the Braves in Atlanta from June 26th-28th. And it's easily the shortest drive, at 246 miles.
Answer 5 :
You left out Cincinnat. Thats closer than Cleveland.

About should I move to Nashville for the summer

Should I move to Nashville for the summer?
I'm 19 and have the opportunity to live and work in Nashville for the summer. I'm from the Cincinnati area, and go to school in Milwaukee, so if I go for the summer, I wouldn't know a single person and would be giving up the chance to hang out with friends and family at home (who I only get to see during Christmas and Spring Break). That being said, Nashville, I've heard, is a great city, and since I have free room and board and a great job opportunity, should I take it? and if so, any tips on meeting people?

You should move to Wisconsin.
Answer 3 :
I think it sounds like a great opportunity to have new experiences and meet new people. I love Nashville- I live about 2 hours away and randomly go there for weekend trips. I had a similar opportunity when I was 20 but home and school were in Virginia and the summer job was in Thousand Oaks, California. I don't regret it one bit. I met some really cool people and got to see a lot of awesome things. Take every opportunity you can when you are young! Doing something like that will only do good things :) If I hadn't have don't that I would probably still be in my shell a little bit and been to scared to take a job halfway across the country when I graduated. The whole experience for me def helped me grow and become more independent. Make friends with the people you work with- they should know the area and the best places to make more friends and where the fun stuff to do is :) Good Luck!
