<DIV>A business degree would make by far the most sense to me, since 99% of us
are self-employed businessmen, and many go into retail. This is a business
first. Unless we understand the fundamentals of business, we are not going
to succeed, no matter what our skill level is. Music is not
even secondary. Physics would probably hold that position.
I was a music major for over 2 years, and also very involved in the
music school while I was a business major). The tools necessary for our
work gained from the music major path pale in comparison to
the tools we learned in accounting, marketing, business law,
operations management, personal sales, etc., etc., etc.... (and yes,
music appreciation for non-majors, music theory for non-majors, applied lessons
for non-majors, performing ensembles (most music schools benefit greatly
from the contributions of non-majors in performing ensembles), and
even physics can be worked in there) I would have also taken the
small business management classes, but they were always full.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What we do has much less to do with music, and much more to do with
business and physics (if you decide to become a designer). Unless you have
seen through both windows, that may be difficult to understand.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A music major prerequisite makes the least amount of sense to
me.</DIV>
