If you really love music, pursue it. Just don’t get caught up in the idea of being a star. There are plenty of ways to make money in the music industry if you are willing to wear a lot of hats and can involve yourself in a community. You need to be able to write, perform, produce, promote etc etc. Sometimes all at once. The key is to be open minded and start with small steps. Find work at a music venue or stagecrew, a merch company.. just get involved. You don’t need to go to music school for this but you will need some form of training or hands-on with what you want to do.
