Turdsdown Tom posted:this thread could have been great but i couldn't get past the overwhelming stank of piss and cigarettes i got when i read this guy's posts He's got a good point though, which others in this thread have echoed (with far less vitriol). The olds and their advice of "do what you love!!!!!!" is a crock of boiled doody. You used to be able to do that, because - as a white, decently-educated person from the suburbs, you could always go get a decent job. Getting jobs that paid quite well (even enough for a house and a car and a family!) was simple. So absolutely - it was fine to spend a few years trying to make it as a guitar player. You could always "sell out" and you'd be out virtually nothing. None of that is true anymore. By all means, study English if that's what you love. Do so with the real and serious understanding that the jobs available to you will likely begin with barista and end with underpaid freelancer. If that's still okay, then do it! But take the advice "do what you love and it'll all work out" with a huge rock of salt... because the safety net of "just get a job" is gone.
