I'm 17, and I really love all this Djing, music production, new gadgets, etc.
but in a nutshell, this has got to be one of the most expensive hobbies there is.
I don't even have my own laptop, I have money towards one, but not nearly enough. My rig consists of a mixtrack pro, monitors, a borrowed ipad, an old casio keyboard i got for Christmas when i was probably 12, and a DVD sound system that needs the highs all the way killed in order to be at all listenable.
It's impossible to get a job anywhere I feel like, every weekend im applying to grocery stores, mall stores, skateshops, even fast food. I never get called back.
I consider myself a tidy looking fellow, all the apps ask for grades and I always keep at least honor roll, make sure the application looks nice, etc.
On top of it being an employers market; I have no job experience, because of this it seems I will never get hired, but in order to get said job experience I need to be hired. This is kind of a loop as you can see.
How can I break this cycle? Is anyone else having similar issues? My parents won't loan me money because i wouldn't have a mode to pay them back, i don't blame them of course.
This all probably sounds like immature venting haha, which it sort of is I guess, but i've always been taught that if you really want something you can work hard and earn/achieve it, but in this situation I cannot take part in said hardwork. I digress...
