Not just for musicians, Mike. When I graduated with my Engineering degree I thought I had it all set; a few years working in head offices and doing some contract administration (along with setting cost/price points for industrial equipment) changed all that. First opportunity I got I was back at school for a 2nd in Business Management. Never regretted it for a moment (and it was actually FUN to get out of the race for a couple of years).
