I went to tech college to be a firefighter for my first year, I ended up deciding that was not what I wanted to do with my life, that's 1 year wasted. So, thus past fall I transferred to a four year university as undecided and took a hole bunch load of different classes to see what sparked my interests. Nothing really has. So I'm on my way to wasting 2 years of my life and money, so I need to figure out what I am doing.
I love music, been playing since I was 5, now 19, and the idea of playing music or doing something in the music industry has always been a dream for me. Whatever it is, studio player, recording engineer, roadie, touring musician, music retail, music teacher, janitor at Atlantic records or someplace like that where something like Good Will Hunting could happen, as long as it involves music. But my worries, mostly my parents' worries, are that it wont pay the bills, its hard to find a job...negative comment, negative comment, blah, blah, blah. Yes, these are worries of mine too, but I love music. I am happy when I play and I feel that if I'm happy and love doing my job, the worries wont matter and I'll find a way to make do. I don't want to be and don't think I could be one of those people who hate their job and keep it because it pays "decent". My mom is one of those people and I hate seeing her all stressed out and unhappy.
If I choose music, I'd have to switch back to my old tech school AGAIN, start fresh, and hopefully love every minute of it. I'd also take some business classes, as well as some metal shop, wood shop, welding, electronics, etc. because being a well rounded person is necessary in this world in my eyes. So I guess I just looking for some feedback from someone that is maybe in the music industry or is just wiser than me.
Thanks for listening guys...
