The McCormack topic let's me think.
I want to know what everybody over here think about the argument "living and earning money from the music for your living".
Myself, I think this is just a unique group of people who can really live out of their musical activities.
For myself.
i'm just graduated from my Math studying.
And after that i would eventually take an offer in the employment market...
Music will always be a passion. To play / DJ and to produce.
And the money you would earn would be just for fun,
because it would never compete with the serious money.....
So i'd like to know, and I hope eveyone can make there point,
that us techno lovers are doing more then just sitting in their studio and make music all day long..... Where you're living from? That's the question actually.....

Team Assistant in the Marketing / Events department of a major Accounting Firm.
I do boring data entry type work. I don't plan on being here much longer though.
I can't stand this cubicle life.

I work for the NHS part time (23 hours) doing catering whilst doing a hons degree in creative sound and music technology. Before then I was a full time mechanical engineer
Hoping to get a job working in electronics after uni full time, or (but this is a bit ambitious) get a job synchronising sound for TV, maybe teaching music tech perhaps. Or could I could just go back into engineering. Either way it wont be much diff to the current situation doing uni and part time work only I will have more dollar and I wont be a student asshole.
