Not sure if I want to go to uni

bruh...... Listen to your mom and dad, man, they know what's up. You're letting your personal pride, hubris, and your innate sense of competition with your parents (dad) get the best of you.

You're just a kid, man. You'll look back at this as the worst decision ever. You can always play music after you get an education and a key to your future. You're just in a fantasy.

You're in love with a fantasy and your parents are trying to wake you up and you're like "nah fuck off m8" when you're going to wake up in 10 years, broke as fuck, with nothing to show for if you don't get your shit straight first.

There's time for your play bands all your fucking life. Trust me, you're not the only kid who thinks they're the next superstar. It's a fantasy that you can entertain with a good education and a career much more safely than dropping out of/not going to school to play in your band.

Second this. You can always play music through university, and after university. Don't go work total wage cuck jobs as a substitute for a proper education.

College is a great time to find band mates and to get into the local music scene. You can pick an easy major and spend the rest of your time rocking out

Tough it out, at least that's what I'm doing and I'm making music on the side. If I get bigger and can support myself through this, I'll maybe consider it. But to be honest OP, nobody here will give you the answer that you like, only you know if you truly want to be a musician. If you want to do it, prepare for hardships.

I get that. I'm worried, though, because apparently you need to be fairly committed to studying. I'm afraid I will drop out or fail because deep down I don't care about what I'm studying.

Why tho. Why pick an easy major, and pay money to go to uni for the sake of it. How is that useful

Networking and socializing.

And even if it's an easy degree, having one and not having one makes a pretty big difference when you're looking for a job. Of course if you want to get into STEM then you have to get into a STEM major, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to go into an easier(than stem) major like econ or finance as a backup plan.

My nigga

You should go get an education. For one, it's pretty damn hard to make it in the music industry. I know plenty of people that have tried to scrape by and make it work, and they're just not good enough.

Honestly, college isn't that hard. I barely studied and exited with my full ride scholarship still intact. You'll have plenty of time (summers included) to focus on playing in your band, practicing, and getting your name out there.

The honest truth of the matter is that you need a backup plan. I'm all for pursuing your dreams, but a degree is also a sign to an employer that you can make a plan and stick to it.
