ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
You are a musician. Maybe you are in high school. And the question has arrived. If you want to pursue music as a career, especially a career as a music producer or engineer.... should you go to college in 2022? And if you do go to college, should you study music, audio, tech, or something else? Unfortunately, college, especially at a young age, is a MASSIVE decision and it's also a really good way to mess up your life if major debt gets into the picture. But, for the right people, college can be a great thing, especially if they treat it seriously. X O'Connor, GRAMMY® Winning Producer with Full Circle Music, shares his thoughts about the musician college struggle in this video.

Preach! Wish I had had someone give me this advice 9 or 10 years ago before I spent money on a degree that didn't help me in music, lol. High schoolers watching this video... for real, he's 100% right. Thanks X!

[joshstarr]

Now I just feel lost. How do I go get experience? Just an internship? I also what to go into business as an artist, and produce on the side. I don't know where to start!

[falkonbeats]

the only problem now is covid. I started going to metalworks college close to where i live but it was when covid first hit. Now I'm wondering if iits worth going back because all the classes are online now and theres no hands on work.

[frequenciesbynaomi]

But it’s so hard to get internships without going to school.

[TheRealCalijokes]

I don’t see they would intern someone who knows nothing not even how to use the daw, who had that kinda time

[AngelMejia-jm]

But what about if I don’t have any experience to be in an internship? Or be like hands on into making music but I have no idea how to make music but I do know how to play?

[SS-phsu]

can u tell me the best way to get experience on music industry ?

[aleclitofsky]

you wouldn't have gotten that internship with out the degree lol

[MUCL]

What would you suggest? (Obviously not) a college course or a graded course like the one from Rockschool?

[nathanizzo]

Long story short don’t do it lol I did it and it was cool learning certain things but 110% coulda learned it all at home and most definitely not worth the money
