I was once the drummer in a touring rock band. We had a real shot, with significant milestones behind us. Unfortunately our weak link was an immature, melodramatic singer that was terrified of success. I stuck around for two years longer than I should have, feeling like I'd invested too much time and money. My ego and identity were tied to the project. Well, surprise surprise: the band broke up, and it sucked. However, there's no question that I learned a huge amount and that it prepared me for everything (good and bad) that came after. You'll be just fine.
