Is making music a dumb and pointless path? I talked to a dude

It is dumb if you don't have a backup plan ready. Every art career path (writer, painter, musician, etc.) is dumb in itself, because there are so many factors involved that even if you have the talent you are likely to stay broke for the rest of your life. What I always suggest, and what I'm doing is: study, preferably go to uni, find a job that you, at least, don't dislike and that leaves you enough free time for your hobbies (making music in your case). That's the safest way. I know that doing what you like most, like, 3 hours per day instead of 10 is not the best, but you have to compromise
