Career in music?

I need some advice here,Im completing my last year of high school and have to decide where to go next.Is music school worth it?I have a passion for music,although I started playing bass a year ago but ive been a guitarist too for three years.I have a passion for music since a very long time,I live my life in terms of music,use it to escape stress,bad grades and daily problems.I was thinking of pursuing a career in music,maybe as a sound engineer.But the only thing im worried about is a secure future?

Ive seen audio engineers recording different bands and even guitar and bass techs too like billy howerdel.

Approximately how much do sound engineers earn? Can you make a living out of it working in a studio?

I think it would be difficult to do this in your country.

That said, I do believe a person should pursue their dream of life, their passion, if they wish to be happy in life.

Pat Collier started as a bassist, then put together a recording studio (in London) and made a good living renting out practice space, recording sessions, and working as a recording engineer. So your idea is possible, in London at least.

I would expect a career in music/recording to be entirely possible in Australia.

first off if you enjoy what your doin it aint a job,full sail academy in NYC is prob the best recording engineering school out there ,it is costlybetween playin gigs and workin for a studio ,youll squeek by,never know you could be in the right place at the right time and hit it big,ONE NEVER KNOW<DO ONE,howlin wolf said it best LIFE IS LIKE DA BLUES ,DA BLUES IS LIFE <NO MORE <NO LESS GOOD LUCK DOWN UNDER MATE

You're so pissed that you could make a homophobic joke and alienate your fellow members!
