Hello guys,
In a bit of a predicament right now. Im finishing my History degree which has taken 3 stressful years to complete. Before going to University I had to make a decision of basically choosing a music performance degree at the Academy of contemporary music in Guildford or go for the more traditional academic way of life and study history. Obviouisly as im here writing this I chose the latter and from the start of the degree I had the mentality everyday even upto now of 'what if ' which is a real negative way of living I know but even now I wonder did I choose the right decision and also wonder am I wasting talent. At university I jammed with alot of guys some good and some well.....and formed a band which I have been part of for over 2 years with the music being very creative and satisfying. Right now in the band we are planning on moving to Berlin as the guitarist being half German we can settle there. After 2 years playing in Manchester we dont seem to fit in with our music outlook and sound even though I'm from near Liverpool.
I've been thinking about this whole ''what if ' mentality and I dont want to go through my life like that so questioning whether I should get some cash together and go for the Academy Of Contemporary music perfromance degree of 2 years to satisfy me and let myself know what will happen. On the otherside Berlin sounds exciting but kind of a situation of putting all my eggs in one basket.......The history degree sometimes interesting, is mostly boredom to me and I seem to be going through the motions but seen it as a sort of backdrop qualification.
Please any feedback would be greatly beneficial to me right now, way hay.....sorry for the length.
Thanks
Callum
