    is the music business degree worth it? | career outcomes (NYU Music Business) The value of a music business degree ultimately depends on an individual's career goals and aspirations. While a degree in music business can provide students with a solid foundation in the industry's legal, financial, and marketing aspects, it's essential to consider the specific career paths one intends to pursue. For those interested in working in record labels, publishing, or music management, a music business degree can be a significant advantage in securing employment. It provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of the music industry and stand out in a competitive job market. However, for those looking to become musicians or performers, a music business degree may not be as crucial. While a strong business acumen can certainly help in managing one's career, it's essential to prioritize developing one's musical abilities and networking within the industry. Ultimately, the decision to pursue a music business degree should be based on a thorough evaluation of one's career objectives and the specific opportunities available in their desired field. It's always recommended to research the career outcomes of graduates from the program and speak with alumni to gain a better understanding of the degree's value.

    For someone in analytics, it would have been helpful to potential students had you provided some analytics in your final verdict... no? The hideous truth is that many of these job outcomes that you talked about lead to unsustainable salaries for the student debt that's taken on (45000$/y vs the 280 000$ debt you mention). Even with minimal interest rates, I don't see how anyone can get out of that debt trap without suffering from a rational and constant anxiety for years if not decades to come.

    University does not depend on being signed by a label and cannot in any way guarantee that. Instead it would prepare you to work within the music label.
