It’s a popular wish for high school kids in rock bands to want to get a job recording Nickleback for a living. Parents, this article will shoot a little reality into the situation.

I wrote a huge forum post covering the topic of the low road vs the high road in regard to starting a music recording career. Since I can’t seem to find that forum post, I’m rewriting it now. Basically, should take the pre-fab route of attending a recording school and then hope to snag a job in the music industry or should you create your own route.
