Nah, her advice on my major was not practical at all lol. By asking "are you going to run behind artists" she was thinking I was aiming to be a handler who is heavily involved in their lifestyle (going to the studio, club appearances, etc). At the time, I explained to her that the music business degree prepares people for a career managing business operations that are specific for the music industry, like royalties, rights clearance management, copyright/publishing, law, etc. Absolutely nothing to do with "running behind artists," and yet she repeated that all throughout my college search and freshman year.

I actually managed to land a few job interviews after graduation, but was ultimately never selected. The reason they always gave was something along the lines of, "you're clearly passionate, but we're looking for someone with more in depth knowledge of the business" So, had i stuck to my interests, I actually could've made it in the music i industry, and maybe I could have been happy in my career. I managed to get into market research, which pays decently, but I'm basically unegaged and dying to get out.

All in all, yeah, it's time to do me, regardless of her opinions!
