Need vs want debate essentially.
Will you die if you don't do music or the arts? NO

Well, then feed your tummy and amass your wealth first. When you have the wealth, then pursue your interest. Unless you are like some of the kids from NAFA/SOTA coming from wealthy privileged families, who does not need to worry about money because they reincarnated into a family that can support them to pursue their interest.

Interest wanes over time btw. so no point pursuing something so nebulous. That's a reason why when Lee Kuan Yew builds SG, he wants to improve industries that can let SG be self-sufficient and economically strong. You think he does everything for the sake of 'passion', 'interest' and 'calling'?

To those artsy fartsy people, please come back to earth from your imaginary cloud castle. Stop doing things at your whims and fancies just because you like it. Next time, when you have a business, you will know you need to drive profit and do things that can strengthen your P&L. Not make a business decision just because you like it. You will get fired by your investors and board of directors.
