Well, I gave up the dream, in a way, to do a job I don't really love so that I could make my family financially secure. That being said, I kept my passion... and now I can afford to indulge it a little more! I too am a drummer, and although I'm not the best drummer out there, (having to give up the time I would have used to learn to be a really great drummer) I do well enough that I'm now playing regularly in a band, and it's great! We do weekend gigs, some Friday nights, and we're starting to make some money now. And who knows, maybe someday it'll be steady enough that I can give up my day job. Until then, I still get to pursue my dream, just in a more limited way.So, don't give up the dream. But don't be irresponsible, either. If you're going to support a wife and family, they come first. If you're single you have a lot more options open to you, as to where you're going to direct your life. Just one more word of advice; whichever way you go, make sure you have enough of a job to take care of your current financial responsibilities... don't let anyone 'carry' you... it's not easy, but you'll be a man. (Or woman, as the case may be... 😛 )

hey algebra is actually v easy compared to sum of the stuff we do here in s'pore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!honestly,u want a tough sch life,look here - we guys dun even HAVE lives outside sch!!! a regular day for us goes like this - wake up at 6 or 5 30am(depends where u live) reach sch b4 7,morning assembly,sch starts at 7 45am goes on til 3pm then extra curricular activities (and whoo boy some of them take up a WHOLE lot of time - like me for example i'm in the sch band,percussionist,so we hv practices 3 times a week - i pity my sch's national cadet corps tho at least WE band members are not in the hot sun - btw,i'm in a girls' sch n my sch's cadet cops is the best in 'spore cool huh!!who said girls cant be tough man!!!😄) and we finish at lik 6 30 pm then its stright home to slog thru that HUGE pile of hmwk due tmr and sleep at like 11pm and the next day its the same thing all over again.
