I have ABSOLUTELY no money for Berklee school of music (college/university), Can I still go there?

You're somebodys father. I think that should be #1 on your priority list. I went to Berklee for 2 years and I didn't get famous. I would ONLY recommend Berklee to someone that wants to do music ed or music therapy or production and engineering. If you want to just PLAY, forget about it. It's a lot of money for music lessons. You can't leave with a degree and go up to Carnegie Hall and say "Look what I have. Book us a gig because I went to Berklee." I think the # of people that don't stay for 4 years is close to 50%. Out of all the people I met there less than 6 graduated. One of them is a teacher, one joined the military, one works at a liquor store, etc. I am a truck driver. I play on weekends but I don't get more gigs because I went there. I went from 2000 to 2002 and wish I never did. My parents and I will be paying for it for a long time. Go get a job!
