If you have commitments such as work, study, girlfriend, friends, etc...
DO NOT BUY GEAR.
I have 2 essays overdue now because my blofeld arrived yesterday, and I am not gonna be done playing with it for at least a week.

maybe your essays could be about gear.
"the blofeld and hegemonic tendencies within capitalism"
or
"gear lust: confronting the musical / sexual dichotomy"

It's not that bad considering there's plenty of time while studying to go out and have fun. You can't spontaneously decide to go to London or Berlin for a weekend or few mid-week days when you're working full time. Or at least not that easy.
On the other hand, the financial security a full time job provides is very nice, hah. Peace.

yeah pros and cons, and it probably depends on the person...but i was a pretty anxious student, couldn't really relax during term time..always worrying about the huge workload, etc

these are all good reasons why we need to be professional beat makers

Lol, yeah, there's nothing quite as rewarding as living the life of a pro beat maker, constantly feeling the near-unbearable pressure of a dozen deadlines making you curl up in a corner whilst desperately trying to concentrate into making yet another 10 beats simultaneously, even though your body is way past warning you that you actually are in imminent need of a more healthy dose of sleep per day.
Of course, then there's the money, fame, girls and some more money to make up for all that I suppose.
