The other problem with this is, it assumes that a "job" is a be-all, end-all.

I have a regular job, alongside of playing music. I can stand it about 30% of the time. If music was my "job"; that 70% irritation would probably migrate there too.

Another thing is, it's stupid that music has to be your "job" in order for you or it to be taken seriously.

A great sentiment, Shain, and I think anyone who has worked in music education at any stage recognises that phrase 'not a real job' all too well, unfortunately
