what do u do after getting a bacholer in music from a college when my major was Music Recording/Technology Concentration.. i am still in high school and was considering this major..but after u get that degree what do most people do? do they open there own studio, or apply to work at ones???? how much do audio engineers usually get paid
I am a music therapy major, but I know a bunch of SRT (Sound Recording Technology) majors, so I’m gonna bullet stuff here for you:
-as for pay, I/we don’t know where it starts, or even a general salary, because it is different for so many places, but ,like in any job, it takes time to move up the ladder into higher paying positions. But, it’s recommend you get internships during breaks while you are in college. It makes getting into the workforce a ton easier.
-as for opening your own studio, it depends on your money situation. It takes a lot of money to create a studio, to build it and to get equipment. Then you have to advertise. Most people work at other places first until they get enough to start something up for themselves. BUT, you can always do side projects/live recording and stuff like that on the side with smaller equipment that is not as expensive to purchase. You can even travel with a lot of that.
-a lot of this is what you find out at college. You figure out what you like better. you might like traveling and recording, and may never want to set up a studio. You may end up wanting to teach SRT as a professor. It all depends on what your personal opinions are.
I (we) wish you good luck!
