hello all, I'm ur average college student that has no idea what career path to pursue. I originally was doing business or computers but now 3 years into college, i was thinking...I really like music, more of the trance genre. I'm thinkin about doing something like that for the rest of my life. I love listening to music and i wanna start djing and producing. I was thinking about opening my own record/cd store in the future and just Dj there. Wise decision? I'ts my third year @ community college and i really needa speed things up lol, help meh!

Music is a hard way to make a living. I have semi-professional musician friends who stuggle in life to make a living.
Even DJ'ing is tough, because it is a cutthroat business. If you are really good at selling yourself, and selling your product, then you might be able to make a living at it. Trust me -- it will be more about your ability as a salesman, than your ability as a DJ that will make or break you (but you still have to be a good DJ, too).
If you can get enough capital together for a CD/record shop, AND do the DJ stuff on the side, then you have a better chance at making a living.
As far as being a performance musician, that's even harder to make a living at.
Good Luck

Hallo ...., I think that is the great idea if you have interest on music as you said and if also you have talents. This is your life, do what your heart tells you because music is not a bad thing to do, many people have become successfully through music, so even your dreams can become true. But you have to understand that this can take a short time or a long time until you became famous depending on your talents and financial situation to establish a record store and accomplish your dreams. Therefore, I advice you to carry on your ambition, keep it up.

Anna...it certainly relies upon on the alternative. Your mum and dad or grownup has lived and adventure issues which you may desire to bypass by. Your way could look stunning for a mutually as. yet what occurs while it back fire, then what? think of roughly it.

yes it is a very wise decision because if you major in that then you can get a job either as a singer or a song writer so go for it and best of luck to you in your life......
