Well, look, to make a living performing on clarinet in anything like a "classical" setting, you have to be really, really good. You have to be able to play difficult, fast stuff time after time without any wrong notes, you have to have a good sound in all the registers, you have to have good control across a wide range of dynamics, you have to play very well in tune, you have to convince knowledgeable listeners that you understand and properly interpret the range of styles from early classical to post-modern, and you have to have substantial luck and/or the support of established musicians, because you will be competing against dozens of folks for any given gig who also can do all that. That doesn't mean you won't be able to succeed, but it doesn't do people much good to pretend it's a normal career path like, say, engineering, medicine or law, where you finish a course of study with decent grades and can find work.
