Career Path

      I am very pleased with the results I got. I know exactly what I want to do for the future as a career. I now know the salary, types of people I will be working with and other job opportunities. The 3 profiles all line up with what I want to do in my future career. All I need to do now is work hard and put in a lot of effort. Im leaning towards being a Professional musician more than being a director or an arranger. But at least now I know what areas to research more about.

Industry Sector Exploration

           The career path that I am choosing is Musicians, Instrumental. Since I prefer playing music over arranging and directing I believe that this is the right choice for me. There are many aspects to this career choice. Some of these things include:
  • Improvise music during performances.
  • Compose original music such as popular songs, symphonies, or sonatas.
  • Teach music for specific instruments.
  • Direct bands or orchestras.
  • Make or participate in recordings in music studios.
  • Promote their own or their group's music by participating in media interviews and other activities.
  • Transpose music to alternate keys, or to fit individual styles or purposes.
  • Provide the musical background for live shows such as ballets, operas, musical theatre, and cabarets.
  • Audition for orchestras, bands, or other musical groups.
  • Play musical instruments as soloists, or as members or guest artists of musical groups such as orchestras, ensembles, or bands.
You also need to have many traits such as critical thinking, speaking, time management, coordination, and active listening.

Who do u want 2B?

          I agree with the results because it lines up with my dreams and goals to become a  professional drummer. The three choices that I received were Arts, Media & Entertainment, Energy and utilities, and Education/Family services. The only option I want to explore is the entertainment field. Music is something I've been interested in since I was a young child and I want to continue this into my future.
Im expecting to be working with different artists and musicians. I also want to do studio recordings.
