I saw Magnus Rosén, an unbelievable bassplayer who had a little talk about being a pro, playing in bands etc. and he told us that he one day told himself (long before his playing had earned him his first coin):
"I'm a bassguitar player. That means that I will make some sacrifices. Such as a good education etc. But I will have time for my playing and practice, because that what's makes me feel good. And that's what's really important in life"
5 min after I heard that, I told myself almost the same. I may not be famous nor rich, but I will be able to do what I want to. I don't think it's possible to mix a university examination, family. job AND several hours of playing.
Perhaps that isn't what you want. A lot of is satisfied only playing perhaps some hours a week, and enjoy study etc. And that's good for them.
Perhaps even will even I one day find out that I will do something else in my life than just playing a lot guitar and work on a low payed storagework, packing parcels. And that day I may start study again, or maybe I will start go to church (God forbids:mad: )
or something else..
