I'm in financial services. It pays the bills, healthcare, retirement and day to day living. I also teach/train martial arts 3 nights a week (don't really get paid though, I just trade my teaching time for my training).

Software programmer by day, dj three nights a week.....im pretty damn comfortable.

Work at a law firm. Not necessarily fulfilling work but I think it will open up opportunities in the future. At least i hope it does.

Honestly, most of my time is spent looking for more work. I haven't been at a 9-5 where I didn't feel like not getting out of bed 4/5 months down the line. Jobs always seem great and then I start asking myself "wtf am I doing here?" It all goes back to not really knowing what I want to do. I haven't found that career yet. Gotta keep looking I guess

comfortable?

man you gettin paid

I also live in a part of the country where the average cost of living is so low it wouldnt get you a bus ticket in some of the places you guys are from lol. ....on the flip side the quality of life here is pretty horrible

consider moving

do your day jobs have any influence/relation to your Dj careers?

Mine does in the sense that having a deep knowlege of computers and how software works helps with all the technical aspects involved with dvs and daws. Other than that nope.

Im past considering, its all ive thought about day in and day out for over ten years now lol. My only hurdle is its kinda dufficult to find new jobs in out of state markets, plus i want to move to a top tier city so its harder finding a job in those places due to competitive job markets.

Network Engineer (LAN/WAN/Data center) by day... DJ extraordinaire every Friday evening.

(nm)

because i work in a research lab, I always have to think of new and unique ways to setup experiments that will actually work lol. I feel that this has enhanced my creativity in the Dj game because I always try and think outside the box when am doing mixes, mixing old and newschool stuff, hearing distinct sounds/breaks in a record etc.

but obviously all of us have our own ways of being creative lol

go back to school further your education, become one of those sought after individuals in that competitive work market


it could happen


education is key, if you a programer you have a collage degree yes? masters time, job hunt in the big city find job than move to big city

Event promoter, (concerts and EDM club shows), Sales guy at a pho Apple store.

Ya I have the college degree but im not sure if it worth the $$ investment to go back to school. Also I dont understand how it would work time wise, ive looked at the MBA course work schedules and they look like a tough fit for someone with a 9-5. I know you can take night classes but that seems like it would take forever to earn the degree just taking night classes.

What really fustrates me is they have a new degree program in a school the next state over that I REALLY want to persue (IT Security) but the class schedule would be impossible to make work with my day job.

Do you work at a vietnamese place that sells knockoff apples or a computer store that sells noodles?

Cardiac Rehab

Hoeeee..sheeettt....

I went through dream job #1 already myself.

I think people switch careers a few times.

IT Guy by day...

Your wifey's reason for stayin' out late a few nights a week at night...

I feel like there is my problem. I can't even realistically say I've started A career. I've just had a bunch of dead end jobs. And yes I do have a degree but honestly I went to school bc it was the "right" thing to do. And I refuse to go pursue graduate studies without a plan. Not going to commit that mistake. I have a bunch of friends who either have a Masters and they are working jobs where they are overqualified or they have a Masters talking about they gonna go get another bachelors bc they don't like their current situation. Idk maybe I'm overthinking it.

I'm not against education by the way. Just I see no point really when I have no clue as to what to pursue. And I'm not looking for the dream job at this point. Been gave up on that. Now I'm just looking for something I can at least stand spending 8 hrs of my day on.

Mine came very natural, when I was growing up (like 5th grade) I would go to the library and get programming books, used to spend summers trying to find "hacker" how tos on AOL, took programming classes in jr high and high school ect ect. I had planned on continuing my education into law after my original degree but i couldn't take another day in oxford ms

real estate investor
government job (work with at risk youth)

dj is a hobby that will pay me a few times a year
I admire djs that do it full time but in my city I feel bad for them

my first job was a dream job so to say...... i was a bench tech at Numark when it was in jersey

i got to play with all the new stuff and repaired stuff...... what killed me is when customers returned the mixer or bottom level tt and told me i was holding there production work..... i kinda smirked and said in my head (production work with a junk mixer and junk tt's that skipped yeah right)

LOL I know right, I was originally brought in to convert everything from fox pro to visual fox pro (I had never even HEARD of fox pro before then lol), 10 years later they are finally coming through on their original promise of when I was hired of converting everything to c# (I'm a c# SQL kinda guy).

In the long runs its kinda fucked me because where as Ive gained a TOOOON of useful info about the healthcare\insurance industry, technically, I have 10 years professional fox pro experience which in todays modern tech world might get me a cup of coffee. I feel like my 10 years at this place really wasted my time because not only did I not learn any new advanced skills, the ones I learned in college are rusty as fuck. All of which makes getting a new job in a better city kinda tough

WTF?

And you have the NERVE to talk about someone getting an ART DEGREE?

And you're rocking FOXPRO?

NOT EVEN VISUAL FOXPRO?

LMAO!

Dude, you are a DINOSAUR......

Hoe...sheeeetttttttttt.....

However, I'm not really convinced that you have the skillset to manipulate nested IF,THEN, ELSE loops, when you can barely navigate the {quote}{quote} syntax of this board....

You need more people.....

I paint the "S" on the Skittles at the factory.

lol my jobs in fox pro not my degree, my college courses were c#, visual basic, sql, oracle, asp.net, java ect

Thanks for sharing dude.

Shhhhiiiiiiitttt. When I think of what has come natural to me in life it's always been something art-sy/liberal. Since I was a kid all I ever been interested in was writing, spoken word, film, and music. It all ties to human expression but shit even I knew as a kid that I didn't want to be a starving artist. Fuck it. ::pours out some whiskey::

Dude, you're re-coding FOXPRO.

What the HELL version is it?

2.5?

Stop playin...

See?

I TOLD you, you can't even QUOTE correctly on here...

No wonder it's taking so long for you guys to get offa FoxPro..

You can NOT make this stuff up....

Hoeeee....sheeeeeettttt.......

it was 2.5 when i got there, then visual, now we're transitioning to c#

lmfao, next time you wander why health insurance costs so much just realize that if you filed a claim through a hospital odds are it went through code i maintain lol

Yeah, 2.5 is the version I worked on YEARS ago...lmao...

Did they come out with 2.6 for DOS?

I can't even remember....

Wow...

Damn..

Beezle at the HELM of our Healthcare.....

i'm actually a pipefitter by trade, on the service side of things. That covers heating and cooling of larger commercial buildings. Started out on the lighter commercial side, (srtip malls, smaller office buildings and schools, etc.). Progressed to larger buildings and factories. Did more than my fair share of rooftop units, (both heat and cool), working in the bitter cold and extreme heat. Progressed on to large boilers and and a/c systems. Now I am pretty much large industrial, large high-rise, hospital type buildings working on the large tonnage cooling for comfort and process work in the factories. There is a lot of money at stake if things break down.
I've done everything from weld, fit, cut and fix new, damaged and existing piping to troubleshooting electrical issues, mechanical issues to repair and troubleshoot electronics.
In a nutshell, I with the mechanical side of a building. Installation, service and maintenance, design, etc.
My job has absolutely had influence on DJing. It has taught me how to work under pressure, for one. Nothing like being at one of the Ford, Chrysler or GM plants on a service call (on a piece of equipment you are not familiar with to boot, sometimes) and the line is down. That costs them about $ 1 Million/minute. Or at a hospital that is canceling surgeries that day because the equipment is down, or the high rise office buildings with tenants that pay thousands in rent, but have a clause that if the temp drops above and below said number, they don't have to pay. This has also taught me how to deal with people and customers.
It has also taught me not to panic so much if isn goes wrong, and to have a backup (plan and equipment).
My day job gave me an excellent understanding of how things work, so I am not afraid to tear in to my DJ equipment if it needs repair, for example.

I feel like I just wrote a resume... anybody hiring? Lol!

Industrial Engineer/Quality Manager by day, club DJ by night. If I found another decent way to make $200/night on hours I'm not committed to job A I would probably quit DJ'ing clubs and just do private parties on occasion.

Dj'ing is a blast, but sometimes I need a break from the same top 40 music over and over again and demanding shitty people!

Oh, I forgot... I just do mobile gigs right now. Nothing steady, just whatever I can get. My day job does allow me to be a little selective on the gigs I agree to take. I don't have to sell myself short and accept gigs I don't really want out of desperation.

So, in short. I'm extremely happy with my choices. :)

Not only was it a great learning experience, but also helped me buy a house in one of my areas best neighborhoods!

Mine does in a sense that I can drop everything and leave in the middle of my job to go do a gig if I have to. It doesn't pay very much, but the freedom and how very little anyone pays attention to me there is great. Allows me to lay low, do fuck all sometimes. Just keep my head down, do my work, no stress.

tough question to answer
but what you do think your average dj makes as a full time gig

he/she isnt a huge name but gets a few spots a week at clubs/bars/lounges

I'm a sales analyst for a sunglasses company.

Where I'm from not much at all, in fact all the highest paid DJs don't even do clubs. Pay = 100 to 200 max a night and for most you need to take some kind of gear. When I was doing clubs for promotions (which didn't help, you'll learn most people that even go to clubs most likely can't even afford top dollar production) I was making 200 to 300 (max) a night 3 to 4 nights on top of a regular job. I haven't even tried to DJ a club in years, but I bet it's hard as sh** to even get 200 a night these days.

I don't have a day job, but when a girl asks me I always say I work with dolphins.

Automotive Technician

Did you graduate from U.T.I.?

In the medical field.... a UTI is a pretty uncomfortable thing to have......

I attended Lincoln Tech, but didn't graduate. While attending school, I was able to land a job at a independent Volvo repair facility. The owner stated that what I was learning was outdated and would be better suited to just work and learn on the job.

People have an adverse reaction to Lincoln Tech also...

Isn't an automotive technician just a fancy way to say mechanic?

Nice, just curious as I see UTI commercials on TV all the time. Also see commercials for Lincoln Tech. That's hilarious too that your employer said it was outdated. Good for you!

No. There is an actual difference

I support and maintain the automation system at the county jail. Keep the computers, etc, that lock, unlock, open, and close the cells and other doors running. As well as the camera system, intercoms, loudspeakers, TV's, and pretty much all of the other electronic stuff. Not a cop. Just a techie at the jail.

I always wondered who did that stuff....

"The Man", "Big Brother", or the common punchline "That guy from the Old Navy commercials" does that stuff : )

Oh, so you're part of the oppressive industrial prison complex. An industry that has turned America into the most imprisoned population in all of history.

no, he's part of the place that keeps assholes in check. thanks robdj.

nm

I take it your not well versed on the evil ways of our government, most people in prison are there for non violent drug charges and nobody deserves to be locked up for something they choose to put in their bodies. I suggest picking up a few books, if that's not your thang watch a few documentaries or at least listen to Krs-One.
Real Eyes Realize Real lies!

I'm sure there are a FEW people in the jail who don't deserve to be. But I assure you that the majority of the prisoner population reminds all of us why they're there regularly. I'm familiar with the whole "the man is holding me down" concept. And occasionally it's true. But what I see the most is people who are holding themselves down. And it makes me very sad. If that's not your thang listen to Git Up Git Out by Outkast and take it to heart.

If it's against the law to put drugs in your body, then you belong in prison if you get caught doing it. Sure it doesn't "hurt" anyone but yourself, but neither does not paying your taxes and shit like that...all still against the law and can and should land you in prison. Don't assume someone isn't intelligent or educated my friend. I'm sure you have your reasons, as do I, for forming our opinions. Have a good day.

nm

^^That, the law is the law until it changes regardless if you agree with it or not.


*Flashbacks of police in my Vegas hotel room*

I love get up and get out, the message is the truth, but we can not deny that the prison industrial complex is part of the machine that creates revenue by the oppression of the poor. And to Latindj, most if not all laws are created as a form of control, enforcement is a way to maintain the status quo and to keep generating revenue for the state. Black and Latinos make up a large part of the prison population which means that slavery has not ended it has just merely transformed into something more palatable.

"the law is the law until it changes regardless if you agree with it or not."

yup

nm

I smoke out my room every time I'm in Vegas or anywhere else for that matter.

Machine that creates revenue by the oppression of the poor? Shit. We're losing BILLIONS by keeping people in prison.

Whatever you're smoking. Stop. It's making you stupid.

nm

LOL! Maybe those Blacks and Latinos should try getting a real job instead of selling/doing drugs and contribute to society in a healthy way? I bet none of them end up in prison... hell I'm 44 years old, never been imprisoned because I take care of my shit.

nm

"Black and Latinos make up a large part of the prison population which means THEY NEED TO STOP COMMITTING CRIMES just like any other race out there"

There. I fixed it for you. This isn't about slavery. It's about people committing crimes.

nm

So let me get this straight? Your living your life based on what a rapper thinks about our justice system? Lol. WOW!

If you break the law and get busted then you need to pay the price. Criminals should read US law books before committing crimes so that they are not surprised by there sentences.

If you don't like the laws here move to the Middle East where they chop off hands for stealing.

You might change your mind after some drug addict breaks into the club and steals over $5k of your gear & music to support his habit.
/True Story Bro

Damn, is this a forum for Fox News? I didn't know we had so many right wing supporters of our government in the dj scene. It is also saddening that main stream culture has adopted this false sense of freedom that has been indoctrinated into the American population.
I will stop derailing this thread as I see my opinion is not a popular one in this forum. Thank you for your time. Peace.

Right wing supporters? lol

So you're saying the left supports crime?

Again. Stop doing drugs. It had affected your brain.

nm

It has... nm

Don't mistake awareness of the law for support of said laws.

If ya'll think drug offences should be jailable, you are all way more wack than I thought you were already. It's a complete and under waste of tax payers money. I say legalize it all and stop clogging the system. People should be jailed for being dangers to others not themselves.

+1

Personally I agree, but until then....

Another ignorant statement.

- So your saying people who are on drugs (heroin, crack, meth) are not dangerous to others or themselves? WRONG!

- Do you know that tax payers pay for rehab for these idiots when they decide they want to get clean? There are drug addicts who use methadone for decades on our tax money

- Are far as marijuana is concerned, it's harmless but most of the time it's a gateway drug for harder stuff

Get your facts straight!

So being "Under The Influence" and possibly putting OTHER people in danger of accidents, and / or crime is OK?

+ Eleventy Billion....

+ Eleventy Billion and one

When threads go wrong lol

nm

My facts are straight there Jeb, or George or whatever Bush you crawled out of. Rehab and treatment is factually proven cheaper than incarceration. And Marijuana gateway drug claim is hilarious! Where did you get that from Reefer Madness? Any one who doesn't realize the concept of gateway drugs is for your grandmother, I don't have much to say to you. If there is any gateway drug it is alcohol.



Big fuckin surprise here^! The turd in the punch bowl chimed in. Obviously two different crimes. Plus the biggest culprit is alcohol. So if you want to get rid of all of it, you are all righteous, but considering we're djs, we'd be out of jobs. I know Johnny likes a couple Incredible Hulks washed down with few mudslides maybe white Russians. I know anyone with this opinion feels "affected" by this issue or have the hood conservative mind set that "everybody else just can't understand". So if you don't realize by now that the "war on drugs" was a construct of our government that brings in billions to certain federal agencies, your a boob. And your the same person who loves the Patriot act and seat belt laws. You probably can't think for yourself so you need the government to tell you how to.

Ahhhh, Jethro is back...

I'm sure you came to that conclusion because your brain is on drugs...

No surprise that someone with your upbringing would think that it's OK.

There's no surprise that Alcohol is the biggest culprit, so basically you start slow, and work your way up to being a full blown meth-head.

Enjoy your cousin.

Please educate yourself. It's obvious your a street lawyer which is cool until you become an adult and everybody thinks your an idiot.

Acutually not paying taxes can in fact hurt others since tax dollars fund emergency services. Carry on.

Just because a law exists does not make it just

Umm... could you clarify WHO you're talking to since I have the "Lawyer" avatar....

Some cats won't get it right away....lmao.

Until it's changed it is presumed to be "Just".

Ya!! They can get jobs in the pharmaceutical industry selling xanex to kids instead if...in the corner selling xanex to.......wait

Meant for "auttomattik"

Depends on who the "we" is your talking about. The private owned prisons MAKE huge sums if money by keepung people in jail

So what if a sober person broke into the club and stole $5k of your gear to buy a car....should we outlaw cars?

You should get your facts straight before commenting in the first place.

he mad.

Those are facts.

.
Fact: 100% of hard drug users have consumed water, therefir water is a gateway drug

Pleae provide research that proves this is a fact.

Not all of them, there are plenty who pay for their own rehab. They also pay taxes so its their right. Our taxes also provide pay for child services. I dont have kids why should they get my $$ kids dont pay taxes

Your comparing child services to drug rehab? Most of the children who are in child services care are from parents who are drug addicts.

The only people who pay for there own rehab are the rich.

SMH.

Only the children of drug addicts get sick? Interesting.

And yes im comparing the two, both drug abuse and children are bad life choices in my opinion

What about the heroin meth and crack perscribed legally by the pharma industry every day (adderal oxycontin ext) are they a danger to themselves and others just because a law distinguishes a difference?

The president of the us was on weed and coke. So your saying he was a danger to himself annd others?

Uhm, what happened to the day jobs..?
Anyway, I do graphic design, motion graphics and video editing as a freelancer,

This is written by a man (I use the term loosely) that clearly lacks life experience. Age doesn't make you wise Johnny Boy. The fact that you think someone from Mass is backwoods shows your ignorance. I'm sure you've never left the Armpit of America or even your destitute town you live in. It's no wonder you can't understand if they took the drugs and made them all legal your Moms may be able to stop suckin dick for coke. And yo, I never went any where. You're a bitch troll, you always will be, and you'll continue to counter the popular opinion. Your mad cause your good days are behind you, you never even left your home town as DJ so your bitter. We can all see through you kid so just stop frontin.

And that other fool Mez or whatever, your just a conservative prick with a narrow mind and no facts. Look up treatment for drug abusers vs incarceration. You might learn something. Read something other than the Drudge Report, watch something other than Fox News and gain some perspective. Besides, your Mom smoking crack only made you sorta dumb.

lmao @ your whole family being strung out, you livin' in the woods, and can't catch a break...

Another "Ol' whoe' is me Hillbilly sit-chu-a-shun....

Holy fuck this thread is worse than the Beamz thread.

Wow, I really hit the nail on the head. You didn't refute one thing I said. But, word Johnny you know nothing but this forum. Your not successful, you prolly lucky to make $50g's a year bruh, and who knows what that is after child support. No addict here bruh, just a free thinker w/ facts to back it up. You keep doing your wack old and sexy parties to be able earn extra cash to get a new 4X Karl Kani polo from TJ Max to treat yourself. If you need a hand out brother lemme know, us back woods hicks up in Mass got cheddar and we're always looking for new charity. Hit me up JJ.

lol

"No addict here bruh, just a free thinker "

LMAO!

Just sayin...

And there's no need to "Refute" the things that a recovering addict is trying to say...

That fact that you're PROJECTING what's been going on with your life is evident.

Face it...

You're just a Good Ole' Boy who never had his own bed...well, I guess the barn DOES count in a pinch, huh?

Watchwww.youtube.com

You tell Uncle Jessie and Roscoe I said "Whuzzup"

Lmao @ Harry "Chronic" Jr...

Yep...

Says it all rite thurr....

Yo, so a herb smoker is addict bro? What world do you live in? Apparently one where you make 100 grand a year working for the man, but I missed where's your child support at? They missed that deduction. Johnny are you a deadbeat dad? Well, we already know you're a deadbeat. How much overtime you gotta clock to get there bro? Haha! You work for the man while up in backwoods mass I am the man. Move up to Mass bruh I could use a good I.T. At my shops. Don't worry, I can afford ya.

I have no qualms with "The Man" paying me 100 G's a year to post....

LMAO @ you reaching for Deadbeat Dad jokes

www.djjohnnym.com

All you're doing is telling us how you were brought up...

Ya Mom's apparently did some not no nice things with her lips for pharmaceuticals...

And now you're telling us that your Dad apparently wasn't around neeva...

Look, go outside, move those bricks, put your house in gear, and just move the next town over...

They'll never miss you, and you'll make a bunch of new friends...

8 Mile made you cry, didn't it?

lol @ an Herb smoking Herb....

I wish I made $50k a year..... I could if I wanted todo mobiles, but not doing club work in this town.

For the record. I didn't mean to thread jack this into a political debate. I thought it was a pretty interesting DJ thread. Was just throwing my day job in too and BAM political philosophies bum rushed! My bad.

^^ I'm sure there's enough bandwidth to hold it all. ^^

Looks like more than 50k to me.

6 pass the popcorn. I'm waiting to see the other paystub drop.

That never happens...same song when NikJr said something about how much I apparently make...

They start talkin' that money Sh*t, then cats clam up.... with the quickness.....until they can come up with something else to complain about....

And it's not that I think I'm better than anyone, because I have been BLESSED to be in such a position, and can lose it just like anyone can lose their job.

It's easy to spot these forum fakes and exploit them.

Been doing it for years.....getting paid to post, that is...

reason number 1001 why you should buy a mac


























BECAUSE YOU CAN AFFORD ONE .........FOOL ;)

hell buy 3 :)

I knew this was coming....

In all "Big" purchases, I do my research...thus this thread -> serato.com

I've learned that just spending a LOT of money on something, doesn't mean
that you'll get a quality product for example this -> webshop.cashconverters.com.au

C'mon, fader dying 2 weeks in?

AND the INCLUDED REPLACEMENT FADER ALSO?

Aww hell naw...

So since then, I always do my research cuz Sam Ash was NOT taking it back...

Just stay tuned...

you got kid to claim on your taxes? you getting paid this tax season stop Frontin

That's good to hear...

Any potential DJ's?

man don't get me started.......my son wanted to be one after he's was 16, not because he really wanted it but because it was in fashion i spend 2k buying him his own gear

gear has since been sold all money recuperated....with only $40 lost, he's now lives in new york and is a rapper now hopefully they can get some ware with it rolling with this cat here
Watchwww.youtube.com

now my daughter is another story after 18 she says the same sh!t i always wanted to be a dj,i say what? man none of you ever showed interest in this even after growing up see turntables in the living room and me practicing all the time

SMH

as for grand kids......there maybe something there 2 always try to imitate me scratching


stay tuned

Well, at least he doesn't have a southern "drawl"....

Wow I meant to join this conversation in its early stages and see it's taken a turn. LOL.

I live in NYC and by day I'm a train operator for NYC Transit. When I started that gig I took a few years off dj'ing due to the ever constant change of schedule and tour. Now I'm getting back into the game as the schedule and tour are more constant

For real though. Bout to untrack due to the BS politics in here.

Politics should just be banned in threads like these. I used to date a girl who's parents were on opposite sides as far as their beliefs went, but they always had one rule though when visiting family... No politics talk whatsoever at the dinner table. That shit always starts wars.

Frm Zammunda??

We should start a poll. Who here is actually happy, or at least content, with what they do as it pertains to their day job?

Not happy... It's an easy job but it's not what I want to do. I'm only here to pay the bills. I support technicians working on Multi Function printers. Currently exploring other possibilities.

Yeah man. I'm on the same boat. I'm constantly looking for a new job.
