Strange question to ask, and one that will prob have billions of answers. I think at the end of the day if you have the passion for it you will find the time for it.
Personally I have a 8:30 - 9:00 job and I have plenty of time to sit down and produce as well as keeping the DJ activity up the occasional weekends.
Unfortunatly, if you're not a successful producer (ie make a living from it), then you're job has to come first, it's just how it is! With the need for having money to live on etc
I've also been searching for jobs that allow you to make music while working. So essentially, I'm getting paid to make music indirectly. You don't get benefits at these jobs and the pay is low but at least you get to spend more time doing what you love. It's at a rehearsal hall/recording studio and they let me bring my laptop and produce when it's not busy.
ive often wonderd how making music for a living would bee cool.
as this is clearly my one true vocation in life.
but the choices are limiting,films are one clear choice,but seems hard to get into. and unless you are classicy traind things will be even harder.
so i intend on plucking away at this production game untill i win me some future hope.
Work for a small technology company that prides itself on employee quality of life. If it wasn't for this, I would not nearly have as much time as I do. I can basically come and go as I please just as long as I get my work done.

OMG that sounds awesome. I waste so many hours just farting around in the office because the work they give me only takes 1/3 of the time I'm here. If they did the same where I work I could have 3-4 hour days and still get everything done before it's due.

Same, I'm a project manager for a website company and do everything from home . As long as the work gets done I'm free to do with my time as I see fit.
