Zack....
Ya gotta love it to be in it full time.
No one pays your insurance.
No paid holidays.
Sick days are a nighmare.
No pension plan
Forget socializing or going out with the family on weekends.
You probably would never get to kiss your wife at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve.

If you have the opportunity for a good day job with a future, perks and bennies... I think moonlighting in music will suit you just fine.

You can always go into it later after you get a few safety nets set up. At least that is how I did it.
