The most obvious career in music is to be a singer or member of a band. Not only is this the most obvious choice, but it is also the most difficult to break into. When it comes down to it the music career is a very competitive one across the board. If you want to make it as a singer or with a band you are going to have to be very good, and also get a few breaks along the way. But with that being said, you should chase your dream until you reach your goals. It may be tough to break into this niche of the music industry, but every year people are successful. Hard work may mean that you are next in line.
Another great career in music is working for a record label. These are the companies that work directly with the musicians and bands in order to release songs, etc. With so many jobs available at record labels you should not have a hard time finding one that suits your needs. You can find jobs ranging from marketing assistants to the president of certain divisions. Expect to get in on the ground level, and then work your way up the ladder as you become more experienced.
As you can see, there are many careers in music that you may be interested in. There is a lot of competition in this industry, bur if you take your time and know what you want you can work towards reaching all of your goals in the end. Get started today, and you will be well on your way to success in your chosen field of work.

What careers would have bee available to me in literature, since I have 3 conservatory degrees in music? The entire purpose of a college education is to prepare you for your eventual career. If you have the luxury of going to college *just for fun* – then you don’t need to worry about a career, either, do you? There are people that will tell you that you can always write lyrics, etc. – yeah, like we do no have enough of those already. Decide what you want in life, and pursue the education necessary to achieve it.
Added – I disagree about you being able to write for a music mag, or as a reviewer. Those us of who would be most likely to read those articles, could smell a fraud a mile away. We had a local loony soprano here years ago, who used to *review* local concerts. Yes, she could complete a sentence. But she had NO CLUE what the heck she was wrting about; she referred to the tone of a prominent trombonist as "like a d cuddly warthog" (we still tease him). In every concert attended, if she had no clue about how to intelligently express her ideas of the interpretation, she would write about the music having "primal urges". She was clueless, and and in over her head. You cannot write about something that you do not KNOW, inside out. I write well – but would never consider writing about baseball – I do not know ANYTHING about it.

You could be a music reviewer for a newspaper, or write for a music mag.

I’m a music major and I’m glad to see your interest! Majoring in music is a harsh world as I live it every single day with 12+ hour classroom hours, traveling on weekends and the never ending work.
Majoring in English a perfect job would be a lyricist! Often times as musicians we compose amazing pieces, but don’t have words for what we write.
You could also easily get a job as a band/orchestra manager or secretary for sure. It requires a lot of writing and organizing as well as advertisements and what not.
Best of luck to you!
