I am sorry if many of you are sick of this topic already, but the recent postings have really gotten me thinking. Not to go all Star Wars but "the force is strong in this one", meaning I really want to play in a pro orchestra one day. I also don't want to be that guy who waits by the phone at mom and dad's house. So...is it possible to get a second degree in school, a decent paying job after school, practice to my heart's content at night, later down the road maybe some graduate work, and be competitive at an orchestral audition furthur down the road ? I know this is a tall order, but I think Pat Sheridan did something similar? Picked up his tuba after years of being a business man? If you have some experience with this, think I'm a nut, or anything else, feel free to chime in!
