"Yeah?" Seth asks, not bothering to hide his own skepticism. "How exactly is listening to music a career choice? Cause the only careers I can think of that involves that require skills I definitely don't have."

Critic, manager, agent, producer, sound designer... They all involve a lot more know-how than he has, not to mention resources and connections. It's not like the thought's never occurred to him. Part of it might be growing up seeing just how limited choices were - even if his circumstances have changed quite a bit since then, his belief in his abilities hasn't. It's ingrained at this point.

Then there's the fact he's having enough trouble functioning decently as it is, not just with regards to the psychological factor, but with managing his income and his morphine dependency. Which only seems to be getting more difficult. A career change just isn't on the menu for the foreseeable future. But it's hard to really explain to Daniel why.
