A serious question here.
How many of you actually have a job as a DJ?
I don't, still stuck in my bedroom.

I don't, I want one, but I'm gettin a job as a crappy gay type DJ who does kiddy parties etc. but I hope to give out me demo to some other DJs who will take me on for my good skills
As the question stands it doesn't matter if it's a residency or just gigs. The only gigs I've had have been my own house parties, not a proper gig but theey rocked.

Yeah man it kinda blows (I'm 15 so I should know...) but the fun is trying to teach them respect to stuff that isn't a hit or just bangin... Hang in there, I slowly notice more and more people are getting smarter, musically.
I've spun a several house parties and at a rave in Pittsburgh, but then when I started hitting it off with my promoter connections, I moved to indianapolis for a real job out of college with a Pharmaceutical company I figured that I could make a whole lot more at the time opting for the guarenteed paycheck then trying to be a starving dj. I've submitted my demo to a couple clubs out here, but there isn't much of a scene for trance

I dj for about 8 years (in the same club), but retired back in '98. It was fun, but I would never want to get back into it.

as most here already know i have gigs, but do it as a hobby.
i was sooooo pissed last weekend!
my car broke down on the way to this gig:
3000 guests and my spot was from 1:15 am to 2:30 am.
I never made it there, got no money and now my car is only a piece of junk
shit happens!
