Piano is the easiest.....you don't need an actual job to survive.


Any music degree has a deadly low unemployment rate. Even piano. But you don't need a job to survive as a pianist. Be a private teacher. Or accompanist.

perhaps canada100's perspective is skewed by being neither an accompanist or teacher.
