So all you hobbyist DJs, what's your day job?

Hydrologic Engineer. Operate 4 reservoirs for the federal government in SW Colorado and NW New Mexico

I work as system engineer (read IT geek) for a shipping company, it’s good fun, always evolving and never gets boring :slight_smile:

Ha ha you are not wrong. I know of at least 7 other people who decided banking was a more suitable career than being a “superstar DJ”!! :wink:

TD Securities.

Banking, ahh, we’ll definitely more of a steady paying job then working towards DJ superstardom :wink: Although I’d take the latter any day.

I didn’t think there would be so many media and IT people on here. It completely makes sense that there are, but still seems like a high percentage.

I also work in the media industry doing mostly web development and design, some graphic design, video production, and live to web video broadcasting.

Aside from that, I’m also a mechanic in a local bicycle store in town. I definitely keep myself busy.

I manage three websites for UK Government science research. Civil Service yay.

vancity, whats up.

haha, i just started partying way too young and got burnt out from it.

Vancouver Island stand up!

I work for an online education company. Programming / seo / admin. located in the Comox Valley.

Dj-ing out once or twice a month.

YEAH it’s been great fun, good people, good times.

I work as an advocate for comprehensive sex education in schools. :slight_smile:

I’m going back to school on the GI Bill, got out of the army back in feb. Going to Fordham in NYC, studying international studies. I got interested in DJing and dance music while I was overseas, so I figured if I’m ever gonna have the chance to give it a shot, now is the time.

This thread seemed interesting, so I figured I’d add my two cents.

I am your typical struggling artist/photographer, working in subway as a manger to make ends meet. Mixing and producing is a nice relaxing escape from the monotony :smiley:

I’m sorry, but I was so tempted to post an order for a sub… I could kill for one right now, I missed breakfast. Suffice it to say that I want it toasted with pepper cheese and lots of jalapeños.

I’m in school to become a Massage Therapist. I also have level 2 reiki hand healing. 3 or 4 hours a work a day leaves lot of Djing time.

well i am an engineer by day and an event planner and dj by night.

Sure!:smiley: Now pass me a brew!

Left the day job to work 5 nights a week in clubs, no day job for 8 years, had a ball!! cut back the club work to 2 nights and worked day for transport company, cut back to one night a week and worked day as warehouse manager.
