OK in general, but I'm in the midst of a rethink. My wife has a knee problem and it's just sinking in that I can't take as much work as I usually do as she can only manage to look after the kids and the dogs to a limited extent. I used to be able to cross the Channel and do production line music for Euro TV during the lulls, but now that's completely out and if I do a theatre run it will have to be located near enough that I can get home. I'll also have to restrict the customary overnight stays for session work as much as possible.

Still, I have other options. When the pushbutton synthesiser jockeys were taking work from proper musicians in the late '80s and early '90s I taught English and General Studies at a pair of colleges and wrote a good deal for radio. I could also give lessons on some of the instruments I play, though I'd have to reconsider my approach as last time I tried that my insistence that the students learn theory drove most of them away!

What are you planning to study at uni?
