Better to at least try something out and find it not worth pursuing to the all-star level than not at all. That's another funny thing about us Americans, success is an all-or-nothing endeavor: if you pursue a passion and it doesn't lead to total domination and fulfillment, it must be a failure. I, too, had dreams of being a musician. I started a band in college, we played a bunch of times, made an EP and played for literally thousands of people. But we never toured the country, and after talking with lots of other bands, realized it wasn't worth it. Same thing with DJing. I've opened for international acts and played in front of thousands at hundreds of gigs. But to "make it" I'd have to suck up to a slimy industry that just wasn't worth it to me. But I don't consider it a failure that I didn't turn into Calvin Harris because I didn't want it bad enough. I pursued a passion to a certain level, and realized the roadblock to achieving the next level wasn't worth it to me. To me this all just seems part of being human. You try a bunch of stuff until some of it sticks. I'd provide further advice that you at least try. Better to fail/try and know the fantasy isn't worth it, than never try at all and wonder for the rest of your life.
