The Music Producer & Engineer’s Guild of Australia recently released a study:
60% of music producers in Australia earn less than $50,000 per year.

So, how wise is it to spend 2+ years and $50K+ on a degree for a career where the financial reality is often unpredictable?

If you had $50K and two years to invest in your music career, what would be the smartest way to use it?

• Would you lock yourself into a long, expensive degree?
• Or would you build your career strategically, getting real-world skills, industry connections, and a portfolio of work that sets you up for success?

Universities know that very few students end up working full-time in the music industry. But they still charge $50K+ for a degree that spends more time on theory than practical, job-ready skills.

If you’re serious about producing, mixing, engineering, or self-producing your own music, you need more than just a certificate.

You need:
✔ Real-world experience – Not just classroom theory
✔ Guidance from professionals who are actually doing it – Not career academics
✔ A faster, more cost-effective way to learn
