@JeJeJe - you wrote “he will grow up as a person/musician” and “I am sure he will find his happiness…” Yes! I feel like that sentiment was missing from the article.

My D has plenty of friends that are happy after music school…doing a wide variety of work…from making a US and European debut in Opera shortly after grad school (NOT a rich person) to working consistently in very good YAPs or in regional or local opera/theaters to no longer working in music bc they found other interests. They all seem happy and adjusted. So I’m quite sure other can go to music school and find happiness (in the big leagues or not).
