Despite the perception many people have, there are a multitude of possibilities to turn your passion for music into a career. Although many music students aim at careers in the fields of teaching or performance, there are many other opportunities for finding a fulfilling and rewarding career in music. However, as in many other disciplines and fields of employment, there is an increasing demand for entrepreneurship and creative thinking to create job opportunities, rather than to rely on others (including the government) to provide jobs.
