I am in 9th grade and i am 15 yrs old. Over my life, i have noticed some things. I have a natural gift where everything thing i do, i do it good, but i cant do it great. Musically, physically, especially academically, i excel. But, i dont excel enough in any of these to base the rest of my high school and collegiate career around.
Currently, i am the best academically. I am #1 in my class right now, and for a while i was set on pursuing a degree in aerospace engineering, aiming for at least a masters.
But, honestly, my passion is music. Unfortunately i dont think i can make a career out of it because im not this insane child prodigy who was born to play my horn. So im torn.
I want to make a decent amount of money; i want to able to spoil my family, my kids, my grandkids. Obviously this would come from a job in the engineering field. But it isnt my passion, my horn is.
I dont have the experience of how rewarding it is to provide for a family, but i do have experience playing in high-level bands, and the emotions i get from that are like no other.
Any help??
