Career opportunities in music Word total: 776

Introduction
There are about 18 different career choices in music. The career I chose is a singer/vocalist. A singer sings the main vocal line of a track. He or she is the main focus of the performance. Singers record albums of songs, promote tours for the albums. They spend their days in studio, on tour, and practicing vocal, instrumental or dance skills.
Advancement

    The three careers I chose to examine were IT Security Administrator, Forensics Investigator, and Obstetrician Gynecologist.

I did not have a natural voice from a young age so learning to sing was challenging and pushed me beyond my orchestral limits--emotionally and physically--but with the strong desire I had and the toil I was willing to endure when learning this art, I persevered to becoming a singer.
