 Re: Engineers, Nurses and Bears! OH MY!

I am a Chemical Engineer by training, but an oboist/english hornist at heart. I spent 10 or so years working at Eastman Kodak. The rest running a small business in digital imaging.

I was encouraged strongly by my non-musical family not to major in music. I was lucky enough to get world-class training for a few years that gave me the tools to continue playing. I never stopped. I currently play in 5 orchestras and 1 wind symphony in Southern California.

Some would say that this may be the best of both worlds. My struggle has been the fact the I may not be the best oboist I could be because I spent 8 to 12 hours a day doing something other than music, but I may not be the best engineer/businessman I could be because I'm thinking about the oboe and music most of the time.

Grass is always greener!
