Actually, the failed musician part seems to happen to a lot of us in IT. Every place I've worked in IT, both dept. management and HR people have commented on how often they see people with musical backgrounds in IT.

(My route to DBA was University student => Army Bandsman => university student (Bachelor of Music Ed.) => public school band director ( and continuing as Army Bandsman in the Nat'l Guard) => "girl friday" => painter (walls, not art) => programmer/analyst => DBA)
