Have I chose the correct career path???

Peeka boo!

I have always been interest in music for a long time and have my own recording studio, all-be-it very small and basic. I went to London and studied music (3-year music tech), something I had always wanted to do. I then decided to do some sort of music teaching course. Although this only lets me teach in England at a certain level (A-Level). And the course only allows me to teach music technology.

Anyhow, I wanted to study law as I was really good at looking at contracts and very interested in the music industry - I loved writting up cpontracts and still do a lot of work for record labels for free. But 7-years of studying put me right off so I changed my career path at the last minute and decided to take a degree in Community Education and move back home to Edinburgh. I am now in my final year of the course and will be a community educator once I graduate. I have no intentions of spending my life in Edinburgh and will be moving to another country as soon as i finish (hence all my threads lol)

I have tones of experience as a youth worker (which I got whilst studying my music course), working in the community as a support worker for people with learning disabilities and in the homeless sector. I deliberatly tried to widen my experience in 3 main areas: youth work, homelessness and work with people with learning disabilities. My main interest is with youth work, however. I have so much life experiences too, which help with this kind of work.

The good thing is I have best of bothw orlds, I do a job I LOVE and I get to make my own tracks for fun and as a hoby.

Did I choose the right career path? will I find it easy to get work in my chosen area if I moved to a European country or somewhere like Canada?


Would be interesting to know if anyone does a similar thing to me and lives abroad.
