Of course, a total lack of talent also presents a problem......

Still I have this desire to go run away and do something stupid and crazy, despite the decent job with benefits. |

If you can make it work for you doing only what you love, then good for you. For me, my job gives me the financial security to not only provide for my family, but buy the toys I like, and play music without the pressure of having to get a gig to be able to eat.
With very few exceptions, the professional musicians (full-time, only source of income) I know all struggle financially. Yes, they enjoy playng music, but it's as much a job an a business as anything else. |

Curiously enough, the byline is from Hillsboro, OR, which is the town right next to where I live. 
And yes, having a child puts a quick end to the rock-stardom dreams. |
