Also, I'd be wary of making the things you love into a living. With bad luck, you'll get the living and lose the love. I am happy doing other things for living, and having the freedom to do whatever I want with my music, not having to think about paying the bills with it.

Do you like the idea of doing this for a living, or would you actually enjoy it? I see this with a lot of young people who are into arts. They like the idea of being an artist, even though they are not necessarily people who would enjoy doing what it takes to make a living with that.

Remember, Philip Glass does plumbing as a second job!
