    My day job is a fucking joke. Djing is the only thing Ive ever excelled in but have never been able to take it on full time due to the way things are with money and society... I can't have the time I need to make it work full time for me because, money talks.. Gotta pay bills etc. So I always fall into a trap of getting shit day jobs whilst I work on trying to make more as a Dj, but the day job eats all my time and Djing suffers.....

    That's why I want to go and live in the ocean.

    DJing has always been a hobby to me and I wouldn't want it any other way. Kudos to those who do it professionally and still enjoy it, but I've never wanted to take that route. I like to enjoy it on my terms.

    I used to DJ on a regular 5-6 times a week basis so it was a full time job back in 2001-2004 then 2008-2010. I had other jobs in 2005-2008 so DJing became a part time then. Now it's just a once/twice a month thing because I have to give more time to my business and family. But I still do event gigs once in a while.

    Yeah, but the water will mess up your DJ equipment!

    Main job? Thats my DREAM! Sort of 3rd now, attending post graduate school on weekdays and running a business on weekends. DJing? When time permits.
