  • More Practical Advice

    I suggest that you sell something. That's a career you can get into at any age with no fancy training. Cars would probably be good. You can take some time getting good at it because you've managed to support yourself through music for so long, what does it matter if it takes three months to get your first sale?

    BTW, bravo making a living of any kind in music. You are tough - far tougher than you think you are. Learning to sell won't be hard for a person as tough as you. Just remember, it's not about "tricking" people into giving you their money, it's about finding out what people need and making sure they get it. Everyone needs a car - find a brand you believe in and tell people who come to you why your brand is the best.
