I AM a systems engineer and I'm insanely jealous of my "musician type" friends. I actually was a music major in college, but when a high-paying job came along and I had bills to pay, I made an economic decision. Well, those bills are almost gone....and soon, so shall my "real job".

Having played semi-professionally and working in a Corporate American job, I can say that there always going to be crap to put up with. I guess it just depends on which game you want to play.

As for this so-called "enormous satisfaction from producing something more than just entertainment"....If selling-out to be another mindless drone just to have a paycheck is your cup of tea....I'd much rather be playing some of the greatest music ever written than stuck in my cube-farm, slaving away on a stupid computer!!!!!
