 I won't copy and paste the whole big thing...
 
 I think part of the problem is that any 24 year old with a guitar who lives in Rockville, USA with his parents who buy him a tour van now thinks he's a professional musician...we've got way, way too many "musicians" and not enough engineers in this country!

Quote From article:
  University of Maryland, where all three graduated in 2004 with individual-study degrees in music business. On a bookshelf behind Trichter is a copy of All You Need to Know About the Music Business by Donald S. Passman.

If they opened up that book they would know they have to make music their full time job if they really want to make money at it.
