Whe I called my daughter,horrified by this music degree,she told me that music majors were commonly hired for computer stuff(my term,not hers)
That was a pleasant surprise to me.
.
My father was a music major in college, receiving BA & MA in music, then got his teaching credentials to be a music teacher in primary & secondary schools. He also worked nights and weekends as a professional musician.
Technology always interested him, and when the TRS-80 was first released, he rushed out and baught one, teaching himself to program in basic.
The following year, the school district cut music teachers, but began hiring computer teachers, so he transferred and became a computer teacher in the district. While he continued to learn basic, the concept of databases fascinated him, and he began teaching himself dBaseIII, and eventually FoxBase. Several years later, the district again began getting rid of teachers, but needed a district database programmer, and he got that job. In addition to working for the school district, programming in FoxPro and VisualFox, he began picking up part time contract work, and after he retired from the school district, was hired on full time at J.P. Morgan on Wall Street as a programmer.
Your daughter is right, many people who are talented in music also do very well in IT.
