I'm not a music major , but I admire anyone , who is. I could have been , but I chose another route. I could have been a teacher, but chose another route. I went for what I knew I would be happy doing, I work as an Electrician, technician,for t he Arizona Republc Newspaper in Phoenix,AZ.
I had ab extremel rough go of it as an electrical apprentice for 4 yrs. Then I was ofered a chance to work maintenance for PABST Brewing Co. in Peoria Heights,Ill. I knew then that keeping equiptment running was what I wanted to do. There were times during my 4 year apprenticeship, when I was ready to give it all up, but I was fortunate to have other people , who believed in me. The botom rule I followed was "to do what you know you'd be happy doing." I feel happy & fulfilled doing thistype of work, even though I had a dream of being a teacher, Industrial arts , not music, I'm glad that I took this route.
Ask yourself,"Is this what I really want and would be happy doing?"
Only you can answer this and know in your heart that the time you spend to make it come true will be worth it.
I hope I've helped you and not preached on this soap box too long.
