    Contemporary music colleges like Berklee and MI are more focused on how much money they can take from you rather than teaching. You either have to be a John Mayer and get a full ride, or simply get lucky in the pool. I know several people who have gone to schools like Berklee (who shouldn't have) and came out average or dropped out. From my knowledge, only Classical conservatories like Juliliard are schools that heavily look at skill and technique

  • @goldman1996

    I was rejected from music school. Went to university in Japan but couldn't give up on my dream so I transferred to music school in Canada. I tried pretty hard but unfortunately there were people that worked harder so I didn't get a music job. Fortunately, I was sort of studying business in Japan so I used that and landed a job in financial consulting. In terms purely of salary, I probably am making more than if I had continued music as a career. Don't get me wrong, it still 100% sucks that I couldn't make it as a musician.
    I hope things work out for you, even if they don't. Also, post more stuff! We'll happily listen.
