If your idea of a job is traveling for miles to a different place each week to work for two hours at minimal pay, using equipment you purchased with your last savings, you’re probably a musician.
You went to music school to learn how to play a violin or a bassoon and when you got out you discovered that the musical profession was flooded with violinists and had no need for bassoonists. Or maybe you’re a percussionist looking for a symphony orchestra that suddenly needs a pick-up triangle player for Brahms’s Fourth Symphony. Nobody in music school told you it would be like this. Nobody warned you that jobs would be few and competition steep.
