There are different careers in music industry like Recording Engineer, musician, session musician, music producer, music therapist, music teacher, musicology, artist manager, etc, all of them require different skill sets. For eg. Artist Manager is a combination of management and be a connoisseur of Music, whereas as musician you need to have excellent sense of rhythm and practice. You can give a career assessment test to test your personality, Interest and Aptitude matching which kind of roles : https://allegiance-educare.in/plans/

Becoming a musician is not like approaching any other job ie. applying at job portals, etc.
You have to go for as many auditions as possible and it might take a while to make it, so patience and persistence is must. Having a good and well connected Artist Manager can also get your Career a jump start.
Practice, rehearsing and improving your skills (maybe joining a music academy) will keep you in the game.
