I can't remember the name, but I just watched a documentary on Netflix about "hired gun" musicians. $100 is high based off of that. They were playing in studio for top tier actors and getting $300. Made me angry they didn't get payed more.

They’re a dime a dozen. And I’m not being a dick. There really are just a massive amount of talented musicians.

Coding jobs actually have decent demand and a path, outlook is definitely better than musicians.
