Wow, thanks your your input guys. It isn't so much that I want to make a living playing gurdy. When i transferred from the sciences over to music, i had already accepted a fate of hard times, and if anything college is helping me prepare.(thank god for loving parents =P) But, I'm not so much planning on making a living playing. I'm not going to school for performance or anything, i'm going to school to be an audio engineer. The real problem is, is everyone here thinks that you are just going to get a playing job when you graduate, or in between your other jobs. And the response to someone playing a 'non-traditional' is kind of funny. Profs make jokes about there not being a program here, coments on how it probably wont bring anything to me, financially (again i dont really care.), sort of an "oh THAT guy that doesnt play contempory music" feeling from my friends/peers. Its an over all "well its nice you play that neat instrument, but its time you get back to reality" vibe from most of the people. The exception however, ironically, from my bass instructor, and my music history teacher. I'm going to look into Indiana Univ. i was also suggested a look over seas. Alot of deliberation on my part over the summer!
Thanks again guys!
