First, some background...
For the past 7 years I've been an IT Support guy. They break and I fix 'em. I trouble shoot networks, all the Microsoft operating systems and PC hardware. The problem with what I do is that I'm burnt out. I'm not really made for the whole Corp America stuff.
So, here I am trying to figure out what he hell I'm going to do with my life. Music was always my first love, but playing gigs doesn't make me feel completely comfortable as a day job. I've been working with my home project studio for a year or so, and I really do enjoy it. I've been talking with a few friends of mine, and they ask me, "Why don't you do that?"
Here's what I want to know: With so many folks, like myself, learning how to do their own recording, is it worth trying to get into the industry? Also, if I were to look for a local facility to get some propper schooling in a pro like setting, what should I look for?
Mostly I'm asking these questions because It's kind of scary to think of changing careers. I don't want to waste my time and money getting into something that will eventually be fruitless. I just want to say that I'm somewhat happy in the work that I do every day.
