**Daytime jobs?** So assuming you guys aren’t all extremely successful djs/producers that I’m lucky to be communicating with, what do you do during the day? I’m a college student and I work on campus at a desk job. How do you find money to buy all this outrageously expensive stuff? Extremely off-topic.. my bad. ---

I practice the piano during the day. I teach piano during the night. I fit djing in between. Going to uni next year to study music. I got my stuff in increments. I first bought an eeepc 701 for like 400, upgraded to the 1000h for another 100, then traded it for a macbook for another 500. and eventually got the vci-100 and firebox through more trades. ---
