I read this story in Classical Singer a while back. A VERY famous and
successful singer and his wife, who teaches voice, were having dinner with a
very influential agent. The agent made some remark about people who waste
their time and money studying even though they will never get anywhere. The
wife pulled out a tape of a college-level singer and played it for the agent,
who promptly decreed, "Tell him to keep his day job, because he'll never make
it." The wife then identified the singer. It was her husband, back in his
college days. To his credit, the agent apparently learned his lesson and has
changed his attitude.

If you're determined, who knows what you can accomplish!
