| Do you mostly DJ in addition to having a 'normal' job, or do many of you DJ in clubs as your only job? I'd imagine its pretty difficult to get gigs often enough to make a living off just DJing |

| In addition...but I can't even say that because my last gig was about a year ago. :( |

in addition
even when i ran a weekly and it was a full time job i was also working at the radio station as well
you need it, you're not jetsetting yet |

In addition.
You have to be pretty damn good (or massively hyped about) to have it as a full time job. |

| It would be very difficult to have enough profitablt events here (on a regular basis) to pull in a regular income, so no. I DJ when I can, but I go into gigs with the intent of playing a great set, instead of hoping to get paid. |

i make 400 a week djing and could easily live off of that in my mid-sized town. however, i love money so i also work at hollister as an assistant manager. i need a job on the books so i could get a car loan, health insurance, and all that good stuff....
being a full time dj would be cool, and i could do it, but it is A LOT of work. liscencing and all that red tape, i dont wanna get my own health insurance, retirement, and all that crap keeps me from going full time. |

| I gotta have a day job. DJing full time sucks your soul out unless you're fairly famous in which case you're then allowed to do your own thing. |
