Classically trained violinist here. I studied formally for 17 years (ending in college) and have played in total for 23 years. There were a few years worth of piano lessons throw in there, but that never really stuck (considering I hardly practiced).
With a full time job very much detached from music, I've found time to perform with a local community orchestra and in local area gigs. There are days that I metaphorically kick myself for not having pursued a career in performance, despite having been convinced years ago, when I had the opportunity to make the decision, that it would be too challenging and not rewarding enough.
I can't help wondering whether it's too late to reconsider.
