What's your "day" job?

Re: Whats your Job?

Now that would be a nice turn in the road for you!

Joined a new band, had our first rehearsal in a fantastic studio in North London last night. Have a gig in January and one A&R man has committed to seeing us with a real possibility of another, competing A&R man also going along. Interest from NME as well as possible radio play. The band's demo is excellent and that's what hooked me in to begin with.

We'll see.
 
Re: Whats your Job?

I'm a translator (Russian, English). Also doing interpreting (Russian) at times.

That's why I'm mostly working at home and happen to have a lot of time in-between work - or to keep my feet busy while working at the PC.

(In fact - as typical - I'm practicing doubles ATM while typing this... Having my double pedal & kick practice pad right under my PC desk. This has become so much second nature within those 2 years I'm into drumming that I had to think for a moment whether my feet are doing 'something' or are idle, haha.)

Re: Whats your Job?

As much as I wish I could pay the bills with my music, I fix and implement corporate computers/networks. It really is every bit as exciting as it sounds.

I am an assistant manger at Guitar Center. Started in the drum department, then moved to pro audio ( graduate of The Recording Workshop ). My life is all about music, from my job, to playing in my band Scrap Gold. My wife does middle eastern folk dancing, ( belly dancing ), and have done some sound, and hand drumming gigs with her. A friend and I also collect found sounds, and manipulate electronica, for our own enjoyment and curiosity, ( think John Cage meets Varese ).
 
I am an assembly technician at a small company that manufactures custom and medium run, small package, inline fiber optic devices for the telecomunication, medical, educational, research and areospace industries.

I do final assembly, testing and quality control. Though being a small company, we all do odd jobs as well. I will do light machine work and electrical assembly and troubleshooting here and there as well.

That job pays for my hobbies and college.
 
I just left the British army after serving in the Javelin Anti-Tanks and Machine gun platoon within, 2nd Battalion, The Mercian Regiment (Worcesters and Foresters)

I completed one tour of duty in Afghanistan, OP HERRICK 15

I now work as a drum technician in my local studio in london, that Paul Weller and the Gallows often attend, I also work part time in a bar some evenings!
