Go to work after school and weekends and during the summer. But the money trap is well played feature of our society. It took me many years to believe it was possible to be an artist without being 65 and retired. Thank God I have this opportunity now. While I know I can do other things (everything from customer service to software testing) nothing else matters! No other work energizes, rather than drains meAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883302641683755168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494258999340756001.post-19163256771541436802010-09-10T07:32:48.208-07:002010-09-10T07:32:48.208-07:00This is one of the reasons I am glad I came int...This is one of the reasons I am glad I came into the arts later in life I " sort of" have a job that makes a living and I am not looking to make a living in music, just don;t want to go broke either. I feel for my artist friends though, fortunately many can get work in church settings where they can grow spiritually and professionally too.Diana the drumbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999250257714834974noreply@blogger.com
