tangentially related.

Bingo. Not in the industry. I get what you’re saying and yeah I picked up gigs while slinging guitars and amps but it is not a job in “the business”. And working there they will try to keep you from getting one that would mean you depart them.

Since music biz jobs are often on the road.

Yeah the difference is

MI sales is not “the music industry”

Yet guitar center pretends it is.

Pays their employees minimum wage

Harvests their love for music and their skill to sell overpriced low quality gear

A culture of lying and swindling basically.

A horrible little microcosm of late stage capitalism all driven by their minimum wage employees believing the lie that they are “working in the music industry”

A lot of real big companies run scams on their employees. Take Herbalife for example. Or amway. Or guitar center

That’s not a job that’s a scam
