Just as long as you do the research about whatever it is you want to do. The band life is much different today than it was even a decade ago. Go back to the 80's and 90's and it is a whole different game still. Know what it will require of you and know what to expect in terms of putting the time in and the toll it can take on the rest of your life (or lack of one if you are a touring band). Not a "family life" kind of thing. It can definitely be done, but it's much different.
