Hmmmm. That's the same reason *I'm* still working my "real job."
Anyway, you would be in good company, with Henry VIII (who enjoyed composing music, but had to do something else for a living), my baby brother the webmaster/electronic music genius, my sister the Internet matriarch/hornist and my uncle the violist/metallurgical engineer. The great thing about music is that you CAN do it as an avocation, as opposed to a career.
Me, I'm thinking about going into voice-over work, which would entail working for Mammon rather than Art, but still has some connection to ***Show Business***. (I finally got past my audition fright, but it's been a long and hard process.)
Good luck!
