Missionary trip? Uhm, that would be Međugorje. Yeah, it is nice there. As for playing for money, I dont play jazz or blues. It just doesnt passes round here. I play weddings and stuff. And although some people say they would never do that on a count of being humiliating or something, I kind of like it.
You don"t have to practice a lot (not that I practice much trumpet anyway ;) ). The tunes are relatively simple. And the bridesmates, oh, brother... ;) . Anyhow try that if it passes round there. Around here, that is about the only way you can earn something from music. We do play biker meetings and rock gigs too, but the wedding pay off so much better. 5:1, I would say.
