Most educators perform on the side.
What options are you looking at?
I even dropped out of a top music conservatory because of that very fear of "performing is not stable of a career." I don't regret quitting though- I knew I didn't have the same mindset as other conservatory students. I did not live, breathe, eat music. I shoulda picked IU. (an easier escape)
If you're going to be very unhappy as an educator- it might be in everyone's benefit for you to choose something you'd be happy with. I've witnessed middle school/high school music teachers who were very unhappy because they didn't choose (whether by choice, or otherwise) another profession.
