What would be the right job for me?

Question

So my dream is to be in a band. I play guitar and do some writing. But it is always good to have a back up plan just in case dreams don't work out.

So I know for a fact that I want to work with music in some way. I would love to go on tour with bands and just travel.

Music and traveling are my two favorite things in the world!

I was wanting to know details on what a tour manger really does? Do they go on tour with the bands? Are they only one bands tour manger or do the often change bands? How much money do they typically make?

I also heard of something that deals with lighting? To my knowledge you set up lights and control them? But how much interaction would you have with a band and do you normally stick with one band?

What about sound? Controlling the sound? What are the details on that?

How much many do these jobs or any other jobs you would like to suggest make?

Any other jobs that sound right for me? Also what schools would I need to go to and where are they. I really would like to move to LA but I really don't care where I have to move.

I just want to do something with music and tour the world!
