It could just as well be furniture design, or items. The creative process itself has intrinsic value and is very appealing to me. But still, being an architect means creating something greater. Sometimes more is more and bigger is better.<br /><br />I think my choice will work out just fine. I'm sure a separation between work and hobby can be a good thing. Besides, I don't think I'm as passionate about drawing as you are about music. I'm just sort of good at drawing, but it's not like I actually do it that often.<br /><br />I'm feeling the pressure to get a job, I really am. It feels pretty horrible that I've been just unemployed for almost two months. But it's difficult. I realized today, that someone who has worked summers since the age of 15 has over a year more work experience than I. That's super crap for me.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866326314279698355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760854303694440563.post-55255572692214852932015-02-13T03:05:22.900+02:002015-02-13T03:05:22.900+02:00Dude, I can relate.

I'm constantly wondering whether I should pursue something music related and/or creative, or if I should just settle for a stable job as a teacher, which I'll begin studying for this autumn. I guess I'm currently headed for somewhat of a middle road. Being a teacher is a pretty good job for someone with a lot of side projects. Still more than one of my previous jobs can be summarized to me playing the piano, so I know I could work something out if I really wanted to. Problem is, I don't want to spend my days playing other peoples' music, which is by far the easiest way to get paid when working with music. I'd much rather compose tracks myself. Which is what I'm doing at the moment. I just spent more than 20 hours on a track these past three days. And these days flew by without me noticing, as it wasn't boring at all!<br />It feels as if everyone is trying to pressure me into getting a job right now, becuase to the outside world, it seems as I just spend my days on the computer doing nothing, but now that I finally have some free time, I'd much rather use it to see what I can go for, by composing and doing things that I love. That, and actually spending something else than time on my projects (money for new virtual instruements and such).<br /><br />I hope your decision works out for you. Afterall, being an engineer doesn't mean you can't also draw buildings during your spare time ;)Shadow Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059281133675679438noreply@blogger.com
