I unfortunately had to part ways with my fencing job that I've had for the last two years. The split was on good terms but my boss cited my constant time off as a major catalyst in the decision to not bring me on for the new season.
As I re-enter the job hunt, I was just wondering if there were any potential job fields that have worked well for you as gigging musicians? I play in three groups, so my evenings are usually filled up, and I'm gigging or out of town on tour almost every weekend in the summer (and also take off a plethora of Fridays and Mondays to accommodate travel). I also have a BA in Business, but that seems to more commonly be irrelevant as most of the jobs in that industry require a higher level of committal than I can provide.
My lead singer in my main band is a lead developer, so he's able to bring his laptop and work remotely in the van, and the bass player owns a hardwood floor company so he's able to answer calls and conduct business while we're on the move as well. Ideally I'd find something that I could get busy with while on the road as well.
Thanks in advance.
