What should I major in if my ultimate goal is to be in music technology and an entrepreneur?
February 272010
I originally decided upon majoring in Music Technology at Wayne State University but now I’m wondering if that is the correct major for me. I want to be a producer, eventually start a recording label, and even own my own fashion label. Which brings me to think about whether I should pursue Fashion… It’s not so much the designing I’m concerned with whereas just owning my own label. I want to be an entrepreneur in whatever field I choose.
I would suggest looking into going to a school in a major city that has many record labels. Look into perhaps a business degree and trying to get an internship with a record label or fashion designer. This will give you insight into the industry. I also think you may not be looking into the right major for you. I would try a Merchandising major, whether in fashion or music. Check out these schools which offer such programs and are located in major hubs of both the fashion and music industries (either NYC or LA).
