i´m just a regular salesman in a small skate shop…not the big money but it does pay the bills (if i get my money)
working in the taperoom in a vfx post-production house. handling the technical aspect of videos
Rocket Scientist (no seriously - I design systems and software for missile systems)
@djmaxone - I’ve got a mate who does similar, runs his own company doing everything from camerawork through to prost-production. Grinlor Productions if you’re interested …
my main occupation is law student, but that doesnt pay the bills. so i work at an electronics store every saturday.
university doesn’t require me to get up early so i have plenty of time to dj in the evenings.
I work as IT Systems Admin, Support Desk Manager.
Work 10am till 7pm - Mon to Fri.
Have 5 guys whose asses I kick daily.
Afterhours…I am a Psytrance Assassin.
Sarasin…the Psy Assassin.
I used to work HORRIBLE shifts until recently (promotion).
So now i don’t have jetlag weekly…and my life is normal again. Worked these fucked up shifts for 3 years.
So stoked its done.
Now I am able to get back on the weekly club rotations.
Im a marine Engineering officer, Not the type that saves wales… I actually work for a seismic exploration company at sea. I work 5 weeks on and 5 weeks off..
Whilst at sea I take a 12 hour watch of the engineroom. 0000 - 1200. somedays im busy, others I have I have my feet on the desk reading Djtt posts.
Of recent im getting more into using my rig. Most days this trip I will usually have my rig set up in engine control room and play for a few hours, then again in my cabin after my watch.. Its good as there is no distractions here. Only thing is obviously being away from home for 5 weeks at a time… miss my son terribly… but I more than make up for it when i return to Bali for 5 weeks of literally whatever I can think to do.
For everyday I work i get 1.151 days leave, so i actually work less than half the year and get payed for the full
… im going home in two days, so these are the moments the job seems worth it. Somedays you h=just want to say fuck it, but working a 9-5 is my idea of hell.
Get to travell the world, I have done literally 2 laps in the last 4 months…Dubai, malta, bahamas, canada, Honk kong, Japan, indonesia. Usa
To whoever it was that said they were in the navy, they should consider doing what I do, I got plenty of friends here who worked in various navys and they pay here is 3 times as good with 3 times as much time off.
And you arnt going to get sent to war!
damn, everyone has a better job than me 
even earl panda, lol
Many Engineers on here! I didn’t think Engineering and DJ’ing was so common. I am a Civil Engineering Student at a local University. Currently on my work term and working for the government. Working on projects that involove new schools, new police stations etc.
Originally wanted to do Electrical Engineering before I decided that I also like to have a social life as this would be very tough. Civil isn’t bad and working with the government is pretty relaxing as well! haha
BAH!
IT is a shitty industry…well…support anyways.
When it all works…no one even knows you exist.
When it fucks out…you the biggest fuckup known to man.
seriously.
Always fixing other peoples stuff ups.
If i had known it would be like this…i doubt i would be in this industry.
Bear in mind this a ‘laptop dj’ forum, and engineers are mostly techy nerds. You’re bound to get more of us questioning ‘the way djing is done’ and finding novel toys like the VCI etc and ending up here …
G-String inspector for the hustler corporation. Shit job i know but someone has to do it.
Firefighter. I get to drive an 800,000 dollar vehicle like I stole it, make a lot of noise, and nobody says shit. Best job in the world.
Not to mention you have carte-blanche to break shit with an axe! (including window of cars parked in front of hydrants).
Phil.
I bend over and take it Mon to Fri 9 -5 from a large insurance company you may have heard of, I sell insurance to brokers who inturn sell it to clients. Brokers aren’t happy unless they can feel your nose touching their colon and clients aren’t happy full stop. As you can tell I hate my job. Pays the bills just…
I wait until my evenings/ weekends to get home, put on my tech/head helmet (see my Avatar) and become Fyoog. Then I DJ, listen to music, drink, go clubbing and generally cause havoc!!!
I paint all sorts of crap,
Houses, petrol pumps, industrial flooring - if its got paint stuck to it i have probably painted it. It pays the bills until my music stuff can pay them, but god knows when that will be - the music industry is a tough nut to crack.
I also work for DJTT where i get paid to answer all your general knowledge emails, product questions, answer youtube questions, do the occasional blog post and take care of the technical side of the forums - i putting far more hours into DJTT than i actually end up getting paid for and the hours i do get paid for are not really payed that well - that said i still love the job or i wouldn’t be doing it
So in the end i wind up working a serious amount of hours in a week.
In my own time that i do get thats when develop stuff like the smartmixer, ms pinky plugin, other max patches, do a bit of djing and production work.
Needless to say i am a pretty damn busy guy, but don’t really have a lot of $$$ to show for my work at the end of it all.
Yeah, breaking shit is fun. I work in the hood so there’s never a dull moment, something is always either on fire or getting shot at.
farkin hell u made day mate!
by the way: i heard of from this guy who gets paid by making j lo´s nipples hard with icecubes…sounds good…don´t think this job would need any kind of certifcation or stuff and u get a big bugs
HAHAHAHA…dude…BS is your middle name!
I likes it!
i thought it was NZ…?
