I also kind of look at music as a career similar to what people liberal arts degrees go into. Lots of people get into that because they want to be a writer and because it's fun and easy. But it's hard to get paid as it because #1 so many people are into it, and #2 there's so many books and stories written by classic writers in the centuries past, that why would they want to buy a novel from a new writer? Or if someone wants to listen to rock, why not listen to the classics like the Beatles, Pink Floyd, even nirvana, before some new band? It gets more saturated each year. So why don't people get into a career like engineering or construction instead, because those are harder and more boring.
