Industry Leaders Reveal Post-Music Career Dreams

In a recent industry survey, prominent figures were asked about their hypothetical careers should they depart the music business. Responses varied significantly, offering a unique perspective on the lives of music's influential leaders.

Some honorees expressed a profound connection to their current field, stating they "would not recognize themselves" if they pursued other paths. Others envisioned pivoting to related areas, such as teaching music business or opening a record store. A few even considered careers in sports, with one ambitiously aiming for a starting pitcher role with the Yankees.

More unconventional aspirations included working with horses, bartending, or designing crossword puzzles for The New York Times. A common thread among many responses was a desire for a slower pace of life, involving activities like reading, napping, spending time with family, or enjoying leisure activities like fishing or relaxing with a drink on a boat.
