While I agree with you, nothing about this is exclusive to the music 
business. On
can find themselves disenchanted with any career entered, after having to 
dredge
through it for awhile. It's about expectations, if someone thinks a 
certain job
will be wonderful and works several years to get there, only to find it's 
not
that great, it can be very disappointing and discouraging.
