Nemo said:Yeah he wants me to have the future he never did have. He's like...almost 50, unemployed, has no money and no way to afford a pension for the rest of his life and he's convinced I'll do the same. You'd think after him shouting at me for years and getting nothing but shit right back he'd try another way of getting me motivated. Infact the fact it'll send him insane if I take this course is more of an insentive to take it.
Edit: That last sentence sounded typical teenage angst. I want to do this for me because I enjoy it, but if I can be successful then put up my middle finger and disown him after, it'll be enough satisfaction than I'll ever need.
Well it sounds like you don't have far to go to have a better future Nemo if you have the determination you can do anything. I would just worry about putting 'all your eggs in one basket'. It's a shame you can't take music and economics classes. Do you know anyone who has gone through that music program, or to anyone in that industry? They would know better than anyone how helpful it would be for you.
