Q: I skipped out on a family vacation to take a last minute week long gig that I was under the impression would be more serious than it actually is. It's inconvenient cuz I have to rehearse for 50min with a group made up of small children twice a day every day for the whole week (I thought I'd be playing higher level music), and the two daily rehearsal sessions are like 4 hours apart. But I am getting paid a nice chunk of money so was it worth it or not?
A: it is. you'll learn something about something. you'll be 1 step closer to knowing what gigs you like, and you'll definitely learn something about yourself somehow. especially during the breaks
