 Would you discourage a youngster from taking up a career in music?

I don't believe in thwarting anybody's dream(s)but the situation is so hard these days for anybody wanting to become a full-time musician. Orchestras in Europe are folding or merging, military bands are closing. Plus there is the danger of being over-qualified: a young person may attend Julliard at great cost and efforts and end up teaching band at a junior High School or playing bugle calls with a minor military band. A friend of mine went to Julliard and the University of Southern California and now plays in the Paris Metro (subway)! So, would you preach realism or tell a youngster to follow his dream? If you're Vengerov or Trifonov, you still have a fighting chance, but how many of us are?
