Default What should my career be, a music teacher or a computer programmer?

I've narrowed it down to 2 of these choices. My passion is music, however I dont want it to be boring to me if i have been use to it for so long. And i dont know if the pay for being a music teacher is good. Also, i love using computers as well and tried to teach myself how to program. To put it in a nutshell, I find music being the easy way out. And programming a bit of a challenge to me. What career path should i choose thats not only enjoyable but also well paid. Best answer for 10 points.

One thing is for sure - programmers make a lot better money than music teachers.

But you have to follow your heart - if you pick a career only because of what it pays, and you ignore your true calling, you won't be happy.

Finally, *anything* can get boring if you do it long enough, whether you really love it or just are OK with it.

So how about working as a programmer, but doing music on the side? That way your job will be able to support your music "habit".
