Most I can think of is to do commissions on the side, but nothing to the scale that I dreamed of when I was a kid.

Gotta start small I suppose.

OP one of the biggest most ridiculous problems in the world today is how there is almost no reliable way to help decide what you want to do after highschool. Teachers and people in college say "Oh it's ok you have to experiment and possibly waste years of your life before you figure it out and maybe even pick the wrong major and start over again with a new major after you graduate. You may change majors and careers for the rest of your life and that's totally normal" And to that I say that is a fucking ridiculous idea and a horrible excuse for not having a better more reliable way to make such a crucial life altering decision in deciding what you want to do.

There should be a website. Or some effort from the government or somewhere funded by a lot of money to research and figure out how to make a website or something that will make it extremely easy for people to decide what to do after highschool. I am surprised that nobody has tried to tackle this problem. It would be the next facebook if somebody tried to do this.

If you want to learn to write music well then it's time to step up your training methods that you're using to get better at writing it. The pressure is on to get good enough to make money off of your music because you will need it to survive. So it needs to be good enough for people to want to buy it. You'll need to figure out how to effectively advertise your music and make it available to the public because even if your music is great if nobody hears it then it doesn't matter. Go figure out how you're going to get the best education on that music and pursue it. Find a college that teaches music better than any other college and apply to it. Step your game up tremendously on this.

Your teachers can go suck a dick for putting any doubt whatsoever into your head about pursuing your dreams. Don't listen to those cunt buckets. You want to do music more than anything else. Follow that dream and never look back.

As someone who loves music and is REALLY horrible at it, please don't waste your talent. I would kill to make good, listenable pieces but I can't. Write for yourself as a hobby, you'll be surprised how good it feels. Maybe you could form or join a cover band and play small gigs in your free time. If you're good at something don't let it disappear and go to waste, man.
