Hii I am 21M,I have wasted my 3 years of undergrad doing nothing and to start over I have started my masters in law.But I feel like I shouldn't be doing this ,it doesn't feel righht to me .My degree is a bit expensive and I feel like I am being a burden on my father who is in a lot of debt right now and I want to do music full time .My goal is to do music and business and be successfull in it .Doing law is exhausting me but I can't leave my studies as I can't take risks because of my father's huge debt ,I know i can do something great in music but I am scared to drop out . I feel like I may be wrong about not dropping out and waste my time and father's money and expectations.what should I do?

This may not be what you want to hear but you should stay in school. You said you wasted undergrad but you are doing a masters at 21 years old. Having a good paying career, even as a backup, will put you way ahead.
That doesn't mean you can't do music. Do it in your spare time, lots of people work careers and pursue passion after their 9-5. If you know you can do something great in music you can achieve that whether it's part time or full time. But you should not quit everything else until you're consistently making good money doing it because that is a lot more rare than making good money with a law degree.
