Very psychoanalytic, although Lacan would probably claim that it's the areas where it breaks down that reveals the most.

Im in a really similar situation as you guys, but im in high school (grade 11). Im doing my IGCSE (a board exam by cambridge university) this year. This is one of the most important test and decides whether ill be flipping burgers at mcdonalds or become a millionaire in investment banking.
Im having a huge test day after and havent started studying yet. Most people my age in my situation have given up guitar, computers, their band etc except me. So any of you guys at GMC did your IGCSE or GCSE's (or doing)? Did you stop all your social activities before the exam (a real bummer)? Well good luck with your future guys, im starting to realize guitar is just a hobby and will get me nowhere in life (i know people like Pavel can get into a musical carrier easily, i mean look at pop punk bands like greenday and blink 182, but i have no chance so i should just work on whats right for me) And its not always whats "fun" thats important.... No one would like to work, we need money to survive and its about what we can be committed to a do best. So it doesnt really matter what you take in university as long as you can follow through. One question.... Do you guys think youll really make it as a guitarist? It take more than just playing stuff in your bedroom to achieve that. You need more than just playing skills (a good personality and a whole lotta luck to be at the right place at the right time) This post has been edited by jammer91: Oct 18 2007, 06:27 PM -------------------- _____________________________________________________

Id like to add to this topic because im in the same boat as anyone else. Im currently taking Business in university. Why..? because i want to be my own boss and i want to work with people. On the same not since guitar is one of my favorite things in the world i descided to start a guitar shop.. Its not going great.. im not making enough to survive off.. But as soon as im outta uni thats what i think im going to dedicate my life to. As long as some nuclear strike doesn'thit and destroy all the worlds guitars i should be okay running a business like that. Maybe if i descide to do it for the money i can start a chain of guitar stores. There will be a Faul Sound in every city on the planet. .. not really But for now im happy and really you only live once.. Happiness in life should be all you aim for. Youre getting a business cause you wanted to be your own boss and started your own guitar store already? Your exactly how i want to be (im 16 though). I was at india this summer, I went around met a lot of people and theres a huge market for guitars but the dealers are really far away and spread around the country. Right now im really looking forward to the day i can start a chain of my own guitar store selling every main brand. Yep, ill hopefully be a millionaire and be doing something i want. I have a bit of advice for you guys. Make a list of the guitar gear you want, but are too expensive and not available nearby. Next see if there are other people in your area who want the same gear and are also looking for gear (UG is a great way or even GMC). Then once youve closed in on some brands why dont you approach a bank and take a loan (start small dont ask for a million immediately). Start franchising a few brands at first then expand over time. What do you guys think of my master plan? -------------------- _____________________________________________________
