A huge part of the musician's work is repeating the same performance over and over. This part is already mostly automatised: you don't need to look for an actual musician to listen to music, more often you turn on your radio / turntable / tape player / CD player / mp3 player / etc. As far as the creative part is concerned, the offer is already huge and probably exceeds the demand depending how you consider it. So there is not much to expect in that domain either, as far as jobs (or even activities) are concerned. It is a bit the same for painting. There are people who are willing to buy and can afford to do so, but their problem is then "where am I going to put this?. I already have many that I cannot display...". That's one of the limits the few painters I know hit. Then do have fans, known buyers but if one of these guys buy another painting, it is more to sponsor the painter than because they have a 'use' for the painting.
