What would you do?

Hey folks,

Being realistic if you had a good job that pays good mula, would you throw that away to try and make it in the music industry?

Music is my life is an understatment to me, and if i dont try ill be sitting here in years wishing i had, but then again.... i could try and not succeed...

So what would you do?

Depends on what it is you want to do - you will not make a living in the music industry if you're going to be an EDM producer.

How much $ are you talking about?

this looks like a job for....

As long as you're still saving a substantial amount of money then sure. Though I wouldn't necessarily throw it into the music industry, I would invest it in music. Slight difference.

Better to try and fail than to spend the rest of your life wondering what might have been..

cliche, but it's true.

And you never know..maybe you won't fail.

Go for it

You need the job to buy all the drugs that musicians do.

no i wouldnt, i havent heard your music but it prolly sucks.



you probably dont have any huge hook ups, so even if you were talented you're probably not going to make it. Stop Day dreaming and start living

I survive on your tax dollars ( insert evil Laugh )

I already have a job that pays me well, and no, I'm not willing to throw it away to make it in the music industry.

That doesn't mean I'm opposed to making it in the music industry. It just means I'm not willing to throw away my stability for it. For me, the music comes first, and any recognition/money/whatever for it comes secondary. No harm, no foul.

Because everyone and their dog is an EDM producer. There's just no money in it.

Don't send the letter.

I don't understand why you can't keep a job and still give producing (or whatever the fuck it is you want to do) a shot.

I mean you don't need to dedicate your whole day to it, many DJs and Producers have dayjobs to make ends meet. Only a very small percentage are fully supported by DJing/producing.

Can you not do both? What were you thinking of doing, a dj or something else?

Ok here's what you do:

1) Log out of your REAL TA account.

2) Create an ALT account.

3) Post a retarded thread about some stupid problem you may not even have.

4) Carefully arrange 4-5 tissues on your computer desk to wipe up tbe man-juice after you've finished choking it proper to all the dumb responses your gay ass thread gets.


Fuck you.

God no. There is only a tiny insignificant chance you'll ever "make it", as in, make enough money to live off music (and it won't be a glamorous ammount). Especially if you're talking about EDM. If you want to make music, keep it as a hobby and get a good day job to finance your expenses, because even if you make some money, most likely, your profits are going to be in the red. I know some jazz musicians who make a living out of it - they jam in local clubs nearly every night, they sell CDs, they teach, and usually do something else on the side (like repairing instruments, owning a shop, etc). They make decent "livable" salaries.

Besides, the industry sucks donkey balls. Even if I had an opportunity to live off it, I probably wouldn't (unless I would be making ridiculous ammounts).

Expert advise right here, spoken with a certain conviction that only comes with a repeated trial and error resulting in "experience". Pure gold, I tell you. PURE GOLD!!!!

But what about the rest of us who have dreams to move on from being cotton pickers and into the realm of SUPASTAR MUSICIAN?

keep your job



you've got a problematic outlook to start and it's just going to lead to failure.
