I truly wanna be a Music Producer, and I'm in college right now, but I feel like I'm wastin my mom's money cuz I honestly can't see myself doin anything else. But I've been at a crossroad for the past year, cuz I know what my heart wants, but my mind is *HORRIFIED* that I'll be a failure. (if producers were paid your average salary, i'd do it in a heart beat) Sooner or later Imma hit a breakin point, but yeah... I'll handle that when the time comes...

If you are interested in a career with uncertain prospects, the best you can do is to reduce your risk. Think about what could go wrong and get ready for it. Then do everything you can to make sure nothing goes wrong.
And try to imagine failing once, and think about what you would do to avoid it. That also reduces your chances of failure.
You've already got patience and determination, or you wouldn't have been at it this long. You're ahead in the game. All you need is to treat it like a serious career -- to the point where you could tell your mom or whoever, "look, I'm serious about this, and I've done xyz to make sure I don't fail", and stick with it.
Yes, it's risky. But you will kick yourself if you don't try, and there are plenty of "jobs" you can fall back on with your college education. You may find that your work experience as a producer mixes well with some other stuff -- you never know!

Starting a business I dont know exactly how but im learning from ppl along the way...that are doing it...I always wanted to sell my art...cuz imma graf artist...but its a hard industry to stay in and make money with...but im not gonna give up...im naturally talented in art but most of these companies want a degree...but imma work on that too. Everyone is afraid to fail...but if you dont you'll never be a success.
Aim you have to try and fail...Thats the only way to learn...yo....I want to be a producer to but it not gonna happen over night..(plus dont have the time...lol) Got to the labels...become a intern at a studio if you have the time...thats where you will network and meet a lot of producers that are on...Most producers are cool and will tell u a few of their scrects. But production is so much easier now...with all these computer programs and stuff...When I started I had a turntable...sp 1200...records...and a 8 track recorder...You had to dig to get your sounds...lol
Stay Focused and WHEN you get on dont forget me...lol

I have been a "hobby rapper," in street corner battles everywhere, and built up a name for myself in my hometown as a youngin. I had plenty offers to hit the studio, but honestly, I didn't think I was good enough. Not consistent enough with my written verses. Nowhere near the likes of Buckshot, Big L, Pun, AZ, Nas, etc... So I just let it die. Now I wish I didn't. I feel like I was destined for so much more, and if I had just worked on my written, who knows where I would have been. Dreams aren't realized over night. You have to put in the work, sweat, and cry some tears for your passion. That separates the hustlas from the "could-a-beens."

Because I know people wont support me So I'm just going to have to find my second best ya know.

The one thing I truly want out of life is right in front of me , but so are so many mountains, obsticals and everything one can imagine to thwart me away. I married young, remained married to the same man who abused me emotionally, physically and verbally. I had 4 children with this man, who is extremely successful. My famiily who once held me up high on a pedistool is now ashamed of me for filing for divorce. They are very social and that can't stand for any of their children to place a smudge on their outwardly perfect image. If truth be told we hold more skeletons and secrets of disgust, dishonesty and criminal acts than the maffia, but when i left my perfect home (b/c my perfect drunk abusive goodlooking husband would not) i emberrased my family I have been sepearated for over 7 years but my family refuses to allow me to disgrace them by actually divorcing (they can tell all of their blue blood friends that my husband and I are "just having a little misunderstanding") however I have met and am in love with the most sincere family oriented man i know. He takes care of his kids, refuses to participate in gossip, is also a professional but does not come from family money so he he is neuvo riche. He does not judge ridicule or put down his kids as my family does (of course they do this in private) my homosexual brother is not permited to admit he is gay, my parents still have my out of town almost ex inlaws over for every single family event. I wish I had the balls so to speak to stand up to them and allow myself some hapiness for a change. My significant other is not a huge drinker so my family thinks he is weird. He never feels comfortable in my family home b/c they constanlty talk in front of him of how they wish things were back to the good ole days. My husband supports our kids and is a good dad, but was a lousy husband and no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. My family know, they have made sure he is bonded out of jail every time he hurts me or even better they interceede before he is even booked. They have all the money as does my husband, when i leave the family I will be turning my back on money my kids need and can use for college, grad school, marriage, homes etc.
I want to tell them, that they either accept me for who I am ( a law abiding citizen, a lawyer, non practcing becasue I chose to raise my kids, but at the very mention of marrying the man I love they threaten to cut me off and out of the family will. They have made me so dependent upon them I have no choice. I want to get a job i don't care if i make minimum wage as long as I can pay the mortgage and school tuition for kids and tell them take me as I am or say goodbye forever. Easier said than done when they are very old and hold the purse strings

i would probably say love because it hurts to get dissed by one who you like but it hurts even worse if you dated that person and your afraid to ask that person back out but what really hurts is to say you would die for someone then them you leave you just right then and there so my answer is love because i hate to get heart broken by a guy i love!!!!!!!just imagine seeing them everyday in school that's even worse than anyhting i know! I'm not like alot of other people afraid of death

if it terrified me, then i don't want it.
failure is only achieved when there was no attempt to accomplish.
fear will only give one the FALSE feeling of failure.
go with your heart and you'll fine the winner in you
wishing you happiness in your accomplishments of a great Music Producer......
Happy Thanksgiving

probably a Broadway performer, but I'm scared of the rejection, and my teachers saying "what a waste of a brain"
I know how you feel when the only thing you're truly passionate about is the one thing you feel you cannot achieve...
