I'm learning the world isn't set up for us to follow our hearts. It's set up to keep us working shit jobs and broke and in debt.
....why did i go to music school again? ...i should have been a business major.

and i'm alone.
again.
....
still.

but you know if you were a business major, you'd wonder why you never followed your heart and studied music.

I hate that I have no practical moneymaking passions like medicine, but everyone has it bad in some way... I know someone with a law degree who is also really broke :(

I've actually become more idealistic about such things over time. Being an empty suit isn't as profitable as people assume, the reality is that everybody has to be creative to really make it. Most of my friends who were business majors are still doing commission only jobs and still aren't making even decent money, in fact I bet you could make more than them right now by doing Jazz gigs full time.
There are alot of things that you can do to make money in music even if you don't have a recording contract yet, the problem is more that some of these things require you to be in school for so long that you pile up debt. But that can be overcome and once you're working full time you'll realize that the debt isn't so insurmountable, especially if you go to state schools.

Don't lose faith, girl. You're doing what you were meant to do and moving to where you belong. And I think you're probably stronger by yourself right now...
