Strange prob

~~jordan502~~ · 12-08-2011, 12:00 AM

hey guyz, i have a really strange problem....

all i wanna be a guitarist

but my parents see my future as a programmer....

and wat the irony is that i m not able to oppose them, coz i have commited so much mistakes, failed them so many times at so many occasions that right now, wat they think of me is a targetless person, a person who doesn't know wat to do with his/her life, i have not succeeded them at any point in my whole life...

today...

I am a graduate (B.A.) without a target....

all they want me to do is earn, do a job, or something productive....

but i never felt the urge for those things in my whole life....

anything that doesn't seem to provide earning in my case, is just meaningless for them...

but what i have discovered so far, i wanna get into music....i m not the guy who goes to the office 26 days a month, waits for his paycheck, begs for holidays and doesn't know wat the hell is personal life...i wanna b free in my life...i m not a job guy...please help me at this point that what should I do to get started? coz if things go this way, i dnt think i will ever get to be wat i really wanna be...

Hey Jordan. Can't you just get a job and do music on the side? I know it's a lot easier to support yourself economically here as a programmer than it is as a musician.

hey tore, i know that u r giving a very reasonable answer from your point of view...

but why should we live for others, than ourselves? its our life...

and even if we leave that point, a person is only well suited in the places that are of his interest...

Actually, no man is an island. You rely on other people in most aspects of your life, from the people who make the food you eat for breakfast to the people who sew the clothes you wear or the guys who made the house you live in.

Why should you stand outside the big give & take and only be a taker? If you don't work, you don't get the money which enables you to enjoy the work everyone else does.

Unless of course you can inherit a fortune or win a cash lottery.

Crap. My greeting falls short of tore's useful advice.

Then find some other line of work you don't mind doing and use it to support your musical pursuits.
