Minoring in music?

If you want to be marketable when you graduate into the real world, no.

You should minor in business.

Fuck it dude, you'll go a lot further learning something you enjoy then something you think will make you more successful, ironically

Fun as a hobby? Yes
It's complicated and non-marketable.
Don't do it unless you're autistically passionate about it and talented. Otherwise, you're just doing it as a hobby. It's a waste of money to study unless you're autistically talented and going to a renowned conservatorium.

Do what you love to do. Don't get into a career you hate just because you think you won't be successful otherwise.

But you can observe other countries in this regard. They mostly look at music as a classical art form that isn't marketable in a business perspective unless you want to sell musical instruments, the music itself, the music business or teach music.

Music these days is about business as well as marketing and advertising. Perhaps that would be a good compromise.

You'll get a lot further doing something you enjoy than doing something you think you might enjoy.

If you haven't already been developing the callasts on your fingers since your early teens . What makes you think you're going to be any good at anything now.

I could understand if you were choosing business school over a music college and still wish to minor in music because you don't want to give up your instrument. This might be taken seriously in an application if you have years of classical concerts/orchestral experience. And you can make a lot playing in a quartet part time if you market it right.


But if you're thinking what I think you're thinking (guitar/bass/drums/keyboard/producer/beats) Please just don't bother.

I know talented musicians who have been playing since they could speak who graduated great music colleges and it never worked out. The best they could hope for is the back chair in an orchestra and teaching. It's a real shame, but what do you expect.
