So I wander if in my situation I am a sellout. I am business analyst. I write the specifications for business software. It is a skill that is very much in demand and I can earn more in one day doing this than I can earn in many moons of playing gigs and selling CDs.
It is not something I hate but I would far spend time writing, recording and performing music. Wouldn't it be selfish of me to spend all my time on music, earning next-to-nothing to contribute to the family pot?
It is a quandary indeed.....
