nande,
singing for a passion and singing for a living are two different things.
even if you are 'reorganized' out of your current job, because of your
qualifications and time invested, you are far more likely to find a similar
job in your field than you are to find jobs in singing.
why does your teacher think you need to go to school full-time? what
skills are you missing so badly that only full-time schooling will provide?
(does your teacher teach at the school he/she is recommending?) how many
singers in your area are singing full-time and making even a bad living out
of it?
obviously, i think you are better off if you can do something else for a
living leaving you free to do music without the non-musical pressures of
having to make a living at it. i have also seen enough singers who didn't
get music degrees do very well at getting themselves plenty of gigs. and, i
have also seen tons of singers who got a degree in voice who are now not
doing music at all. whatever you decide, best of luck.
