Sometimes being a professional at something isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes doing what you want to do for a living throws you out of balance. (Of course, the same could be said about a job you hate too much!) There are a lot of things I love doing, but I wouldn't want to do 10 hours a day and I wouldn't want to do them 10 hours a day for very little cash and then feel uncomfortable about my financial situation all the time. I've heard quite a few "hobby" recordings that are totally mindblowing. Brandon

I hope to get a job in business to pay the bills and have money to have a “pleasent” life and also have some money to invest in a home studio in the near future.

I understand exactly what you are trying to say. I went to school for audio engineering...not a 20k school but a local school that offered an associates degree in the program. I spent about 10k dollars(maybe less). I have found that if you really want a job in the biz you really have to sacrifice so much time and pretty much your life to make it (exactly what you said). I am still jobless and recording some stuff as a hobbie on the side but that really doesnt pay the bills. I am now back in school at Penn State in the Business program. I hope to get a job in business to pay the bills and have money to have a "pleasent" life and also have some money to invest in a home studio in the near future. What you said really says it all. I wish I read the article in the past. Dont get me wrong I totally respect people who really want this and are going to the big schools and giving it their all...but there are other options in life....forking out 20K plus isnt the only thing you can do to learn the art of recording. But hey man you seem like an awsome guy. BTW I really like the site...its great....CUBASE RULES! That article was deep. I understand exactly what you are trying to say.
