oh this should be depressing, lets estimate
Instruments over the course of my life, estimation aproximate value at $10,000
Amplifiers, Cables, Tuners, metronomes, Effects and general accessories estimation $5,000
I only took a few lessons before I went to University so I won't bother to count that
Undergraduate Degree (B.Music Jazz Studies) = $35,000 aprox
Masters Degree (M. Music Jazz Studies) = $30,000 aprox
Suits, Tuxedo, Shoes, Gig clothing I'd guess another $2,000
CD's, Books, DVD's, Laptop, at least another $4,000.
Luckily with the exception of the cost of Education most of these other things I have been able to pay for in full or in part (Family support or as partial gifts) through my musical endevours in the form of Giging and Teaching.
Throw only probably another $3,000 for studio time and Dulpication in a few months for my debut CD release.... yeah I'm in the hole pretty deep.
However when I am done all this then things go into payback mode, ie paying back school money etc. I'm not sure how much that's going to cost per month, probably a lot (I'm guessing around 1,000 a month) plus rent, other bills etc.
I sure hope this Masters degree thing works out and I can get a college gig hahaha
