    The average music therapist's salary is about $45,000. Your options for jobs include music therapist, creative arts therapist, activity professional & recreation therapist, as well as supervisory positions in those areas. I'm sorry to say that a bachelor's degree doesn't get you very far these days. I suggest you get a master's when you figure out what field to pursue. Keep in mind that in some states you not only need the music therapy credential MT-BC (Music Therapist-Board Certified), but also additional credentials, such as Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) & LPC. Many positions only hire those with master's degrees in the creative arts therapies (i.e. music, dance & art therapy). The market is competitive.

    From my experience, you can get many entry level (low-paying) jobs with a B.S. in psychology & sociology, but they may not involve your studies in those areas. If you are interested in psychology you should probably just get a doctorate in psychology.

    Simon & Garfunkel is my applicable song therapy. I hear to the final Hits album every time i've got faith like sh!t. as an occasion immediately i got here abode from college feeling adverse (rigidity and disease) and curled up in mattress under a pile of blankets with my mp3 participant with that album on repeat. I have been given up 3 hours later and felt like a clean man or woman. different artists that often seem to assist with that stuff are gadget, upward thrust against, and Crossfade. Metallica sometimes too. i for my section think of that song is the final therapy for a broken soul and/or physique. song is extraordinary, and has surprising healing characteristics. i might want to pursue song therapy as a occupation. this might nicely be a great query. i'm curious as to what your "experience greater powerful" song is?
