Part 2/8:
Composing for Video Games
Composing for video games can be both exciting and financially rewarding. Many game composers work as contractors rather than full-time employees, which means earnings are based primarily on per-minute rates of finalized music. This can be as low as a few hundred dollars per minute for entry-level positions working on indie games, and it can rise to several thousand dollars per minute for more established composers collaborating with major studios.
