Nursing or Music?

nfotxnI've never thought of myself as a nurse.. but when I think about it, it makes sense. I'm a big guy, I'd like to think I'm a very caring person. I'd be perfect for the profession. I can lift big things (Ogg smash! Grrr!) and I think it would make me happy. That seems to be the key. Happiness.
For the longest time I thought I'd work in IT or design but as I meet more people who've worked in the industry and get involved in the design 'scene' myself I find it very emotionally draining and unsatisfying. IT is concerned about bottom lines and market spin, not creating better products and bettering the world. That's no even on the list.. I think that whole idea behind IT died with the Apple //e.
Then there's music.. ahhh, the apple of my eye. Ever since that fateful day in grade four when I asked my mom to play violin, then later switched to viola, I haven't looked back. It was the first time I discovered a part of me.. the next big thing was probably comming out. Seriously, they rate on the same order of magnitude in my life. I'm going to talk to Mrs. Spleit about my future in music.. I know that I need a better viola to really progress any further techically. So I'm going to ask her if I have a future in music. I know I do, but I want to make my intentions known.
So, logically thinking, medicine with music on the side is probably the safest bet. I'm not even considering becomming a DR, I honestly could not weather the decade of hell which is pre-med and med school.
I think for the first time in my life I feel comfortable that I have a future. This is good. Very, very good.
