Re: Thoughts on choosing to become a professional musician

Over these past couple of weeks, I've been having second thoughts on becoming a fulltime musician. Since the age of 7 I've been around music. I started with the guitar, then onto clarinet, a little flute when I was 12 to make up for the lack of flutes at my school, a little trumpet here in there to assist my brother, and piano this past summer. Music has always intrigued me. I was looking at local universities here in North Carolina. I saw the wonderful opportunities for musicians wishing to major on clarinet. It opened up my mind. before this I wanted to be a defense attorney. now im thinking of a major in political science and a minor in clarinet performance. I want to be able to live a comfortable life, support my wife and children comfortably. I'm not trying to say clarinet players can't do that. It's relatively hard to. Right now I want to be an attorney and playing in a local Symphony Orchestra and do small gigs. I might even try band director or music professor at a college. As for right now, I'm undecided.
