I am in a band, but the goal of our band is not to earn a living. All of us already have careers and jobs that we foresee ourselves continuing into the future. We rarely play gigs for dollars, we play a lot of free gigs or gigs that get us enough money to buy a beer in dingy little quirky places around the city. We play for fun pretty much, not for money or a career. So I'm not really sure what we'd do if that situation arose, or how that situation could even arise given our attitude.

That being said, I picked Yeah I would..but i'd probably get depressed and start a drug habit, because the kind of **** I just rattled off is probably something said by a lot of amateur/independent bands before they sell out to the man.
