It can be done, i record local bands for a few extra beer tokens now and again, I also hire myself as a session sax player to bands who need it and currently im looking at getting a qualifications which means i can give sax lessons.

Ive also worked in a call centre doing telesales, and as a carer for old and disabled people.

I do want to start producing and releasing records that fit into as many genres as possible under the hood of EDM. Mostly Breakbeat.

I am also putting a portfoilo together soon to see if I can get a modelling contract or whatever. Yes, i'm dead serious.

I'm just poor. 8)
I used to mow my neighbor's lawn until he moved a couple years ago (I still mow our lawn, but 3 meals a day and a place to sleep are my pay for that). I'm a substitute custodian for my school district, but I haven't gotten many calls for that.
I'm currently on the lookout for projects I can build that I could sell, but I haven't really found anything yet. I was also thinking of doing computer, ipod, tv, etc help. Also thinking of buying lots of DS lites (or other handheld) and fixing them, but that will require a lot of overhead.

I pretty much just do random computer related odd jobs. I'm working on a website which should get me a bunch of money, but I also "intern" (I guess you could call it) at my mom's friend's house/graphic design studio. She isn't very experienced with video editing, so I help her with that whenever she needs it.

Now, I gotta get back to ripping some DVD's (legal ones). $60 here I come! :lol:
If you're looking at this post and it was made before 2008, just ignore it.

I work at the local Dairy Queen (free ice cream 8)). But my mom is being lame and not letting me work during the school year this fall, so my only real income at the moment is fixing computers for people and modding PSPs and Xbox 360s.
