Groups usually end by disbandment more than being dropped by a label, right?
True, girl bands usually disband when one member gets married and goes off to have a kid. The other members just continue on in showbiz, as TV hosts and stuff instead of singers. Boybands seldom disband, they usually last really long.

Lol, we just have to watch big music shows like a-nation or Kouhaku and we'll see loooooooooots of artistes we've never even heard of before, who have been in the industry forever but never made a big splash, but still happily singing. That's why I sorta agree with your prof, as long as their passion for music is there, record companies don't really drop people.
