If you knew you could devote yourself to any single occupation – music, writing, acting, business, politics, medicine, etc. – and be among the best and most successful in the world at it, what would you choose and why? If you knew you had only a 10 percent chance of being so successful at your dream occupation, would you still put in the effort or would you do something else with a greater chance of success but that you liked less?

If I could devote myself to an occupation, and I were one of the best, I would choose to pursue music.

If I were certain I would become a successful musician, I would do it because:

one of my passions
spent many years learning about music in many different ways
I would consider it in real life if the risks weren't so high

If the risks weren't so high:

I would still put in effort (like continue to play instruments and pursue it on the side)
- because I like to put my all into whatever I do
However, I would do something more reliable
- makes my future certain

I don't mind taking risks, but I also want to set myself up for success.

I would only pursue music if I thought I was a prodigy/very good.

Lots of competition
Hard to find jobs
Hard to find good opportunities in Canada
Need to be extremely good at your instrument to make it into top schools
Going to university for music is extremely difficult
Not many different options in the field, and pretty much no back-up plan
Fields like engineering, medical, law, and teaching have many different career paths and back-up options

In my opinion, even if I liked my career choice less than my dream career, I would still grow to like it.

especially if it is a "good"job
with a "better" job I would be able to provide for other people more, and indulge on things for myself
for example, not everyone enjoys school, but finds ways to enjoy while still doing what needs to be done
