Between the travel, audition fees, clothing, music, and ongoing education, music can be a very expensive career to pursue, which is why almost every musician has a second job that helps finance the first.
But finding jobs that pair well with pursuing music can be super tricky. You have to find a job that has major flexibility for you to travel for auditions and gigs, pays well enough to finance that travel, and doesn't take a major toll on your voice and body.
Which is why today's episode is all about breaking down the typical and not so typical side gigs for musicians and all the benefits and drawbacks to each type. From the service industry to retail to teaching and administrative work, we'll help you find a job that suits you and your music career. Plus, stick around at the end to hear about the one side gig you should NEVER take.
