Besides, I'm working towards a career in Music Therapy (as being an aspiring rock star isn't the best way of making money...) as it involves the other thing which interests me a lot, psychology. As well as offering me a stable income and employment. I currently work part time as a teaching assistant (uni work permitting) at a school for autistic children, and I think it's something I'll be good at.
Being purely a gigging/recording musician is... tough. I need some form of stability in my life.
