So I've been reading this amazing thread after doing a search for "liability" in the forum. Here's my story:
I'm 20 years old, a junior at the University of Maryland. I'm a computer engineering major and it sucks. So I quit my job, got rid of all my old gear (well most of it), moved into a house with 5 other musicians (college kids) and I am recording my first band for profit this weekend (when I say profit, I mean gear). I put up some ads at the local used music shop where a lot of the kids around here go, and I am charging SUPER CHEAP rates. For the time being, it looks like it is going to be the best part time job ever. I pick my own hours. I hang out with local musicians, and best of all, I get to do what I love. I have recently made a lot of local connections with engineers and other young folks doing the same thing as I. So what do you think? It certainly does seem like it would be really freakin hard to make a living doing this.
