RIM Major

Hi, Im new to this community and I just had a few really blunt questions to anyone who is or knows someone majoring in the Recording Industry. I plan to go into the music business subcore. It doesnt matter to me if I get a job in Nasvhille/New York/LA or if I come back home and start a business, so my questions are:

1. Is it really necessary to get a RIM degree in order to work at a label or would someone with a management/marketing degree be in just as much competition with you? If that's the case then I may just go with marketing..

2. How are the internships?

3. What else can you really do with this degre other than pray for a job at a record label or try to help your band friends further their careers (that was a joke)

I dont want to be negative, but I'm 23 and really had my heart set on coming to mtsu for this, but after reading all the negative comments toward anyone who even MENTIONS going into this degree I'm starting to have second thoughts...this was something I really looked forward to and knew I would be good at (considering my last major was business and made A's in almost every class)...so could someone, ANYONE give some kind of positive outlook on this major...or is everyone else just being honest??
