If you sign with a major, right from the start you probably get a half-million dollar house, a 60,000 car, a money advace, people to take care of all your promotion, good studio equipment, and get to fly around to parties and radio shows and stuff to get your name out.
but if you go the indie route you're also reaping all the benfits & profits. if you have any sense you build a home studio and are RUNNING the label yourself... it takes a lot more hustle and determination but the payoff is huge, and you don't have to deal with the headache of being in debt with a major record label.
