What's your day job?

[stkeb]

I work in a corporate legal department doing investigations into allegations of unlawful conduct related to Title VII (discrimination, sex harass, etc.), and consult with management on difficult employment-related matters. I do a ton of fact-based writing, it's definitely not creative - but I do think it has helped me in my songwriting life -- working toward being brief without cutting the message short. It's a highly conflict-filled job -- it's a blessing I get to come home every night to a warm home, a wonderful husband, two beautiful children, and songwriting...

Website development, along with a smattering of graphic design, animation etc. Just about to launch another business too. So many hours.. so little to do. No, scratch that, reverse it.

My 'day' job is teaching people who can *not* sing, how to sing, including the tone deaf, terrified, and/or very shy. Through the creative process, I show them how to find and release their natural sound. As they awaken, they discover the things they think, feel & do that get in the way of their voice & causes the symptom of 'tone deafness'. With time, trust & encouragement, they grow from shy, unsure, and pitchy singers into confident, sure and beautiful singers who can carry a tune with ease. Anything is possible if you are willing to do the work.H

hi folks,though I'm getting closer to switch to full time composer, I'm currently working 2 days/week in an office (I'm the secretary and do the co-management, together with the president - it's a small association, social work).that give me a) the security to pay all my fixed cost and b) the freedom to do whatever I want in music - and I have 5 days/week for my music.while it's also good to get out of the studio for 2 days/week, my goal is to switch to fulltime as a composer/producer - simply because music is what I want to do; no: what I NEED to do cheers,martin

Right now, I'm not working because of physical health issues I've had to deal with, but in the past, I worked as a librarian. (hell, you'd never know it by the way I have to edit my posts) Yeah, I wear glasses! "Marion, madame librarian...."

Hi. I'm a musician and free-lance composer. I play keyboards for a club date office in NYC. Up until now it's been enough, but my three kids are getting older and more expensive to keep! They can't work just yet, so I just interviewed for a part-time music teaching job at a local private school. I'll know this week if I get the job or not. Charlie

It's been a winding road for me. I suppose that's the same for most all of us!Played in coffeehouses since 1974... http://minnewiki.publicradio.org/index.php/Glenn_GalenI was a city firefighter for the city of Prescott, AZ in 1976-78. I have a journalism degree, and eventually was the editor of a string of weekly newspapers based in Flagstaff, Arizona. Then back to school and earned a masters level degree in computer science and cognitive psychology at the University of Minnesota. Then ran the advanced technology group for a Fortune 500 corporation for nearly 10 years.Then started my own software consulting firm in 1998, and that's what I do now. The daily temptation is to play music in the studio, when I really need to be doing marketing and sales calls so I can keep the money coming in to live on!http://www.IntegritySoftwareCo.comhttp: ... g-sims.com (my other venture)
