Okay. In English (  ) we are required to write a career research paper. Woo. Me being the piano nerd that I am, I was wondering what type of careers are available in this field, besides the obvious ones of piano teacher or concert pianist.

accompanist, public school music teacher (band, choir, general music, jazz, theory, etc.), music business, music therapy, piano tuning and repair, college professor, music critic, working in the music/media industry (I'm thinking of classical radio stations), music librarian, ....

or being a musician for the army! yes it does exist (in australia anyway) cos back in yr10 we had to write ourselves a resume and pick some job we'd like to have and i'm like yes that is the coolest i'm going to be a musician in the army- only problem being you actually have to be really fit and stuff, so i think i'd fail that aspect...

not to mention to amount of competition to get those army gigs...

You can always be a garbage collector with your piano degree.

Aside from teaching, I also worked high-end security in a 13 story office tower for a company worth $16b.

I rather would have lived out of my car and had one student than to go through that again, though.

Just remember, it isn't worth the money ('cause you don't make a whole lot--so marry someone rich, and teach 16 kids out of your home on a $72,000 S&S; that would be perfection).
