Video Game Composer Myths

I study engineering and do music as a hobby. I'm so far from getting paid for my music that it's quite sad though.

The ideal situation would be to have a day job that pays the bills, and one that's flexible enough about your workdays that you have time to make music when you're hired to do music. I mean, I haven't made enough dough from my music (maybe I should start selling my music, that might help) to get the money I've spent on music back. That's a couple of thousand bucks, Logic, Komplete, and Omnisphere making up most of it.

Here's hoping my job will let me be flexible when the time comes to score a AAA superselling indie-favorite steam hit... thing.
