Another option is to just not suck.
ANYWAY...
Is it possible to make a living as a composer or performer?
Absolutely. If you have the dedication, drive, and passion for the art, you can do anything... depending on what 'making a living' is to you. Levels of 'success' vary greatly from one person to the next.
It requires a lot of effort and perseverance, but if you have the heart for it, and take it seriously it's definitely possible...remember, you get out what you put in.
