    Nice to see that you're ahead of the game man. Once you've got those qualifications, you're golden. I guess the obvious next step would be to submit them to the institute.

    This quote kind-of struck me. So - if you're ALWAYS "ready to go"/willing to be ready-to-go.. Does that mean eventually, everybody has a decent chance? (assuming they can actually DJ)

    Yeah you're likely to get a gig for being at parties and making the right connections rather than "being drafted for skill" as they would in sports

    edit/ Unless you produce quality music that people desire then you can go that route... If you're good enough....
