"what kind of working conditions and the amount hours to expect"
Make sure you hold out for the 401k and health benefits.

Actually the Health Benefits thing was a joke, but in reality it is a serious subject. We've just seen the nightmare that Herbie Wallace has been living through without insurance.
As you head out on this journey of yours, have you given any thought to health insurance for you and your family?

Bill, I was kind of hoping you'd help me out there. Everyone else I've asked keeps turning me down.
But seriously, I'll look for a better paying day job and do this "on the side" like most people.

I agree quiting the day job is a bad idea but,working one that sucks your soul is worse. Enjoy your day job enough to be able to support music as a sideline until and if it starts being enough to not do the day job.
Being self employed in any field means that you have to deals with those extra details like retirement fund and health insurance.
