looks like a lot of us are in the same boat.

I think it all depends on your determination, if you truly know music is what you want to do 100% then go all out, no backup plans or anything because people tend to rely on their backup if things start going wrong, and then all your effort and time you put into music is wasted. And nothing will come of it.
But if your not certain if this is the way to go, and are still making career choices, then as some other have mentioned, please do have a backup plan. Best of lucks with any decision you make.

Well this is exactly the kind of reception I was hoping to get. Thank you all very much for your input! I can now make a wise decision on how to pursue my goals in music. Maybe I can keep my business major at my College and pursue a music minor. Where I go to school they actually have an electronic mucis course, where you learn how to mix and produce electronic music. I am definitely taking that course next semester!! Is there any other courses you all recommend?

Thanks in advance!!

I used to study Computer science, and I was good at it, but I wasn't feeling the idea of doing that for the rest of my life. so i followed my guyt and switched to film, something I always wanted to do, and honestly things havent been better...
I guess what im saying is, if you really want to pursue music, then I can only support you and wish you the best of luck as it is extremely competetive just like film.

Film, thats a great career choice as well, how is that going for you? What field of the film industry are you involved in? How did you pursue that?

I LOOOVE it.
Me and my cousin went in together, and we basically are covering everything except grip and gaff work (well we know how to do it, but on set we won't be doing all that. basically, grips building dolly tracks and cranes and gaffers set up lights).
I believe a good filmmaker should be trained in all aspects of film making, and that is the plan.. but as far as what we do is.
Script writing
Cinematography
Directing
Producing
Its a hell of a load of work, and we are planning on shooting a feature over the summer on a shoestring budget. Should be interesting.
