Like you said...he's 21 years old. He's very young so what's the worst thing that could happen?! The worst possible thing that could happen is him failing, having to move back, right? I mean... it would be a rewarding experience no less.

When I was 21, I was accepted into a Music Production Program and during that time I realized that I wanted to make a living out of this. So I spent the following 2-3 years(after graduating) building portfolio but working in healthcare(a job that puts food on the table but it's really, really not for me). But I never stopped working pro bono with different projects, making my music and getting more and more experience.
  Now I'm 27 and I run my own company. I can pay the rent and get by on my music-jobs alone, although that wouldn't be glamorous(yet  :naughty: ), so I'm lucky I have a wife that's a full time worker :)​  But the more I work, the more work I get, so it's just getting better.

But, my point is, work-wise - I could not be more happy. I never ever regret for even a second that I chose to pursue my dream. And it's better to pursue it and failing than never have tried and be bitter about it. So you should support your friend, not hold him back, although sometimes those are the same :)

man falcon youre words, believe it or not sort of inspired me. Im in a much similar position as nemesis29's friend. I am 21 years old, but instead of MechEng, I am (was) taking Chem Eng. I had one more yr to go but I dropped out a few months back because of lack of money (couldnt even pay for the semester i was enrolled in lol). Right now looking for a full time job and as well I'm just making music and seeing where I can go with that. I dont like chem eng, but I dont hate it either. its one of those things I'd consider "work" I guess. I'm going to keep making music and get better at the shit i do. Hopefully one day I can be in your shoes. and if not, hell it was a fun ride along the way  :laugh:

I'm glad :) However, having a back-up plan is wise.

If you're pursuing a career in music you will have to niche yourself. I chose game music, so that's basically all I do. Sound Design comes unavoidably with the job, which is something I CAN do but I'd rather focus my efforts on the music alone. But it's all good, I've got nothing to complain about. However I'm in the meantime slowly working my way up to become a pop/rock -producer as well :) Let's see how that'll work out hehehe...

Also, I might high tail it outta GW, I dunno why I keep coming back here. Probably cause I spent a lotta years here, especially when I was working on Rm2k3. Good memories, but this place just reeks of assholes. It seems like everyone here has some goal to be the biggest smart ass they can in every post, and not just post like normal people. Anyway, I'm out, have fun bogging down the show some more!

hey atari, if you're not going to post something constructive to the topic, then get lost, simple as that. nem just asked for your opinion on a question and yet again, you find a way to be a smart-ass. it's douche-bags like you why many people left to rpgmaker.net.

No, he's right. You're the worst poster on GW. You have 20340 posts of complete garbage.
