The Old Rocker

You know what's sad? Running into your high school classmate 10 years later. You know the guy. The rocker. He had his band in high school and they were going to be huge. You went on to college, got your degree, and landed a good job. 10 years later you bump into this guy and he's still chasing the dream. He works a few gigs and makes some money but you know his opportunity has passed. He's failed to realize it. So he keeps booking local gigs thinking that record deal is right around the corner. While you are pulling in your six figure income, spending time with the wife and kids, going on family vacations and living the American dream, he's working on his big break. No plan B which is why I stress the degree. You know this guy is going to have a sad life. In another 10 or 20 years reality will begin to set in along with bitterness. Don't throw away your 20's on trying to have that big webcomic unless you are working on other options as well. Don't be that sad old rocker.
