Right...
When I left high school there were 2 things I wanted to do with my life...
Work in IT Engineering, or a music related job (Studio Technition or Sound Engineer or something like that)
Music has always been my first love, but I went with the IT work because its more stable and there is alot more work out there...
I went to college, got an AVCE and started working for a company doing PC Builds / Repairs / Networking etc...
Things have been going very well, im doing well at the job... I have good future prospects and im working for a nice company...
Here is my problem... over the last few months I have started to question weather or not im happy doing this Job and is it really what I want to do for the rest of my life!?
Im 22 years old now, and im wondering weather or not to go to Uni next year and persue my dream of working in the music related industry...
Its a big risk, as getting work after will be alot harder, and I will be starting all over again, I wont even finish uni until im 27...
So my question really is do I stay in my stable carrer with very good prospects... or take a risk and go for something I would much rather be doing?
Thanks
James

You can always come back to the line of work you are currently doing.
Yeah.... see thats one thing thats pushing me more towards doing it...
If I go to uni and things dont work out... I still have a couple of years experience and quallifications in IT, so I have something to fall back on!
It just scare's me a bit making such a life changing decision, so I thought I would hear what other people think of it!
Thanks for the reply
