Sounds like there's two separate issues here.  One's "oh my god, what do I
do for a living?", and one's "how is music going to fit in with my life?".
It could be that the two have separate answers.  What about getting a job
that suits your feel for options and possibilities, and doing music (maybe
just as enthusiastically) "on the side"?

(Of course, this is my personal spin on the issue at the moment anyway, since
I've recently been deciding to keep music as a hobby and major in something
else.  So basically, I'm telling you what I've been telling _me_, and, since
you're not me, YMMV.....)

(What instrument, btw?  Are you still playing guitar, or are you on to
something else?)
