My Future Career

The career that I want to have when I get older, is to start a band with friends, make some music, and see where it takes us. There is usually a debate about how much education you'd need for this type of career, but personally I think you must have at least a college-level education, or at least have a good understanding of the english language, or whatever you speak because somone in the band is going to have to be the lyrisict, and they'd have to have a good understanding of rhymes, sentence structures and what not. Next, you obviously have to play an instrument or have a good musical background. Bands make music, I don't understand how a band would be sucessful if they didn't have a musical backround. NO degrees, internships, certificates, or requiring you to go to a trade school is required. The life of a band can have many benifits, but that all depends on if people like your music as much as you do, and hopefully you like the music you create. Working hours, I can imagine would be debateable with the band, but im sure a lot of time would be put into it if you want to be sucessful.
