#17: This Joke Makes a Valid Point
Look, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t pursue your dreams. If you really want to try to make it as a professional musician, then don’t let me or anyone else stand in your way! Technically, I can’t legally stop you from doing so. I don’t even know you! So spread your wings and live your dreams.
Just be aware that for every professional musician who makes it big and lives a life of glamour and ease, there are probably four or five hundred who never really make it, who just manage to scrape together a living through playing gigs at bars and coffee shops and teaching guitar lessons. So just be aware that if you plan to have a family, you may have trouble feeding them. Maybe you’ll get lucky, and someone will give you a large pizza.
