I am on a point in life where I get to decide the stream of studies I want to continue, but I don't know if I would be able to compete in the rat race,I don't know the decisions I'll make would be correct or not. I started dreaming about being a music producer since I was 14 and so it messed up with my academics, I was naive and didn't know if travelling on two boats simultaneously was possible or not,so I tried and I am here writing feeling useless. Now I have nearly lost all my friends,confidence,academic skills and happiness. Its pure chaos here. A part of me is willing to take risk and take a stream which is easy to pursue and concentrate on music production. But then A part tells me be on the safe side and take a stream like science and concentrate on it solely just like my elder brother did. I talked to my parents about it and they told me focus on only one thing. What to do? I need serious/advice. Would the risk be worth it? P.s. I don't have any songs released as I had a supershitty pc (i3-3220 2gb ddr3 ram and a broken asus h61 and a 10$ philips headphone). It couldn't handle synths and effects. So I learned all these 2 years about sound synthesis,music theory,mixing,distortion(i know about it very well)and mastering,percussion,effects and a bit of music theory. But I never could really imply these things and I feel not so confident about it as a result.
