@OP – Well then, as I said. If you want to be a professional musician, you have options. If you want music to be a part of your life, but maybe not your total profession, you have options. If you only want to be a full time orchestral bassist who is supported solely by that work with one orchestra, then you’re missing the forest for the trees. In any business, if you focus more on the position than on the work, you’re going to run into a lot of disappointment. If you focus on the work, and how you can stay in contact with the work, you’ll find you have a lot of chances to be successful.
