Changing my career...Am I insane?

Question

I'm in my twenties and I was supposed to work on International Relations. The thing is, I hate it. I've been playing the piano since I was a kid. Now I'm in love with the Double Bass. I don't want to be a "music star". I just want to work with music. Specifically with jazz. I would love also to teach. Does it sound crazy?

Answer 1

It is your life.

Answer 2

This may be the sanest decision you'll ever make in your life.  Too many people just chase the dollars their whole lives regardless of how much they hate their jobs.  There is no consolation to be found in any amount of money if all you want to do is blow your brains out every time you go to work.  Do something you love and you will inevitably be good at it and success will follow naturally.

Swing on, girl!

Answer 3

Sounds sane to me... lots of musicians have day jobs, but they get to do what they love in their off time.

Good Luck!  :)
