Someone wants my career advice. which is funny. but also, the thing I can’t tell musicians: that I didn’t leave for the reasons they think. I didn’t leave because of the low pay or difficulty advancing or getting a new job or the possibility that the organization that sustains you will suddenly go bankrupt. I left because I was bored. Because I realized that the musician who told me I was too smart to be a musician was right. don’t know if I am happier now but I am definitely not coasting with thirty more years of the same and then retirement in front of me. Like I guess if you feel like I did you should do what I did but if so you probably don’t need me to tell it to you.
