 Work full time, play gigs... that's what life is like in a small city.

 That's pretty much what I'm going to do after college. I'm going for respiratory therapy because it won't take as much time (2 year Community College) and I really won't have any money! (Paying for college for myself). I'm still going for private lessons though!

 Playing full-time isn't just a hard gig to get, as I'm finding out. It's also tough if you're married to someone with "normal" job hours. 
 
I work during the day and play local community/HS shows. It's fun, it's not long-term, and I actually see my wife.
