    I own a guest house here in Malta. It more than pays my bills and allows me only to have to work about 5 hours per week. Mostly doing market research, handling reservations, emails and helping guests planning their vacation here.

    My second biggest income is DJing. I'm happy to say I can do it as much or as little as I want. I work for the biggest club owner in Malta. He owns 15 clubs I believe, so there is always work and I freelance as well for other organizers and clubs.

    My third income comes from photography, video production and a little bit of graphic design.

    I've always thought that people occupying forums are all tweens and teens trying to avoid doing their homework ha ha. I'm glad I was wrong.

    Just changed day jobs to full time student. Electrical Engineering major at a University. Lots of free time so far, but that's going to change next semester since EE is one of the hardest degrees out there.

    So 17.4% of Americans have a mental illness? That's quite a high percentage, I'm basing that on the listed population of the USA at 310,256,000.

    This is a little hard to believe, but I basically live a double life.

    During the day, I'm a banker, working in the corporate credit group of one of the largest wholesale banks in North America. Generally, what we do to make money is take on credit risk in possitions in instruments like bonds to generate revenue, and then use derivatives to hedge some of the risk. What I do personally is support these functions by confirming some of the deals, settling, and reconciling for PnL (profit and loss). It's an extremely encompassing job, and most people who I work with seem to have made this their life (meaning they eat, sleep, and breathe this stuff).

    I also hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree with a major in Finance, and I'm writing my CFA (certifies financial anylyst designation) exam in December.

    I say I live a double life because when I go home, I'm a DJ. I turn off work. And I live with my girlfriend, so it makes being a DJ even harder (because we have chores to do, meals to eat, shows to watch, you know, bf/gf stuff). As hard as it is, I LOVE IT. This is my life, and I'm proud to say in full confidence, that I am a DJ.

    Just a little fun fact: I am a House DJ, from Toronto Canada, and last August, I opened for Snoop Dogg in Muskoka, Ontario.
