Are you sure you're not overestimating how easily you could land a lucrative job like the guys on the stage? Lots of occupations have very attractive jobs at the top of the field while the masses at the bottom do much less attractive, lower paying work. Funny what you say about your parents. Mine will be disappointed to know that I'm "just" doing programming. Rest of your life in front of the computer? What will happen when you get too old for your performance arts career? You won't just be able to sit around doing nothing while you rake in the cash as with a programming/engineering/science career. And are you sure that doing the same performance over and over wouldn't get extremely dull? Also, don't underestimate how much a lack of money can cause problems once you find your girl.
