RE: To those who make a living off of music

I used to make, (scrape) a living from writing music for theatre, radio, tv etc but didn't really enjoy it. Writing music to order doesn't do it for me nor does having your nice, balanced structure edited to bits..I enjoy music much more now it's become play again..

I'm sure it suits some people though..

The article we read said that Google has one day a week that allows its developers to work on any project they want freely and through that, Gmail  along with many other crucial developed This post is directed especially to you musicians that make a living soley on music. What is it that keeps your motivation and creativity fresh? How do you discipline your minds (if you do) to remember that you do this only for the love of music and not for money? Did any of you study music in college and survive?
