This sounds sad, but I'm not sure how I really feel about it. I went to college with a lot of Music Industry major types in the mid '90s and I thought most of them were kidding themselves about their real prospects even back then. It just seemed way over-saturated from the outside looking in, everyone had a big ego and wanted to be a baller. Wasn't going to happen. Not that I don't sympathize completely because I love music, too.

Most recently, I worked with a business analyst guy who was living in Nashville trying to get work by filling in for sick musicians and thereby making a name for himself. It was going, eh, okay for him. He still kept his day job, of course. The company I worked for back then had let him move to Nashville and work 100% remote. He was on point with a guitar and banjo, I'll say that.
