If you could, would you be a Pro player

[KingPrawn]

I consider myself a Pro. Profoundly poor and wanting.A proud weekend warrior who has spent a fortune on gear and listened to arseholes telling me if I play their festival/venue it will make me rich. There's a difference between being in a famous band and being a career bass player. Not sure I'd cut the mustard with either but the gigs I do people are happy and enjoy it.

I've had friends who turned pro in mountain biking or as musicians and they're all absolutely skint and never get to do what they loved just as a bit of fun with mates any more.

I'll give it a miss I think
