Q&A: Is talent the only given to be working in the music industry?

Question by Joshua: Is talent the only given to be working in the music industry?
Hey Yahoo Answers Community,

I’m currently at the end of my senior year in high school, and planning on studying sound design throughout my college years. The question I tend to ask myself a lot, and attempt to research more about is that; is the music industry primarily based off talent, and not developed skill? Is this true or is it just the majority of people out there get their jobs by luck, or does who you know take a toll in this industry? If anybody happens to know, reply.

the industry will most likely count on the talent but mostly your desire to be in the business
and sometimes your look and how you will be a good role model towards the industry and the people like fans, it all depends but the main thing is your desire
