I'm wondering how mane people here are professional musicians or work in the music industry. I'd like to do music for life, but for now I'm working for an airline.

Considering that playing professionally is a great deal more stressful than majoring in it in school, I decided to put the kaibosh on it.
Going to Queen's University for psychology right now and I'm looking at possible future jobs as an LEO (OPP, RCMP) to pay my way through grad school until I can hopefully eventually open my own practice as a psychologist.

Playing music on the weekends is therapy for the stress of the 9:00 - 5:00 work week. Nothing like beating the crap out of your bass in front of a few hundred people to really work the kinks out!

I made a living at it for years but since I got married and had 3 kids I need to be at home more often. I don't want to go on the road and have my kids forget who I am............
I still do it part time and gig a lot but I stay local and will not be gone for more than 2 nights in a row (my own personal rule)

I administer distance education programs for a university - which required all the degrees through Ph.D., so I've been in higher ed for a while both as a student and employee. Not a bad gig at all. |
