Inquiry Question
Why do people who major in fine arts, music performance, teaching, etc. rarely get a job in that field. I would really like to research this topic more because myself, being a music major in college have heard many negative things about majoring in music. Some negative things that I have heard have been , "That is the worst major you could pick, you will never get a good paying job!" , "Do you know the competition out there?", and the infamous "Every musician starves and dies in poverty". I think that even though these may be true for some, if you have the passion you have to go for it. I hope to find some insight and answers while I research the topic of music majors and the job availability in these fields.

Gloria, I think this is an excellent question for you to pursue because the answer has real implications for your future. I hope you're able to find evidence of music professionals who are using their degrees creatively. And, I'd really encourage you to talk with other music degree holders with experience out in the post-college world. What are they doing? What advice might they give someone in your position? I'm looking forward to seeing your research unfold!
