I am a pretty experienced musician, writer, and recordist. Even my dayjob is music-related. About 5 years ago I decided I really wanted to write music for film. I know a lot of people in L.A. in the business, and am close to folks who write for TV and commercials for a living.

However, only this year did I finally land a gig.. and it's an independent film that does not pay much. It's actually a pretty good film though, and I'm having fun and learning a lot, and making some contacts.

Still, I can see where it will take me a long time to get to where I could even support myself with this, and even at that it would have to involve a "break," no matter how good I may be.
