Good thread!

I hate gigs on a Sunday as I have to go to work on Monday (like, er, tomorrow).

My setup is very simple and ain't going to change - VCI-300, MacBookPro & VFX-1. Admittedly not cheap but a few gigs and it's paid for.

You're right, computing and DJing go hand in hand. I was a career DJ for many years (promoting and DJing for a living), but now I'm working in a web agency doing marketing, and there's a few of us DJs in our very company, all digital I might add.

You'd think so, but you'd be surprised. Most places, especially with the economy, can pick and choose overqualified candidates. That little piece of paper saying you spent 4 years of crap, or being a veteran, are steps in the door.

It's all a big money scam imo.

I don't have a degree, I have to rely on a stack of Associated Press photography awards to get me in the door.

I own a custom paint shop. Motorcycles, cars...etc. Need to do my vci-100 in some candy.

Yup, I have a good gig and all those happy little letters (A+, Net+, MCP, MSCE, etc...) to put after my name, but still need a degree for some gigs. If they don't see a degree on your resume they won't even review it. that's why I'm carrying 9 credit hours a semester on top of my full time job and other things.
