Whats up peeps!

I am currently a sophomore in high school looking into what i want to be in life. I have loved music pretty much since I was born. What are professions in life that have something to do with music/sound? What are some courses/colleges i should attend?

sound engeneering was something i was looking into, hoping it would help the music carrer i dream of but i dont know if it helps or its just a plain waste of time.

You can earn a good living as an engineer or a teacher. Carreers you should NOT actively persue unless you want to live in a cardboard box and eat kraft dinner twice a week; DJ, recording artist, singer, performer, etc.

Music for hobby, other for life, IMO. Anything in the arts is going to be very difficult to get PAID.

yes, but if you do that hundreds of thousands of dollars job while pursuing your other dreams as a hobby, you might be able to retire early.
