What is the potential income for the average musician who makes a living in their career?

Well , the answer is about $28,000.00 all things considered.
Now, that is not counting the stars with the millions,
It is not counting those that mostly make nothing.
It is counting those that actually put 40 hours plus into their career and usually have several sources of income tied together by their musical talent.

Is it worth it?
Of course it is if you are alright with that.

If you are not then I suggest you pursue careers with much higher average salaries and do music on the side.
You cans still play music a lot and still use the weekends where the best gigs are anyway!

So, there you have it.
Music as a career is not the best choice if money is very important or even moderately important.

If it is only minor though and you just need enough to get by it is an awesome choice and you will find plenty of opportunities.


There you have it.
