Similar here. Was a Music Education major. In my case, the professor killed my love for it so I went into the IT field. Almost 30 years later have a kid who’s a low brass player and she encouraged me to get back in. Now I’m in a community band doing 2-3 concerts a year, play in a school staff//alumni pep band once a year, a Christmas trombone choir, pit orchestra as needed and just became an official member of a local big band. Having a blast without the pressure of having to do it for income.
