Just found this which amalgamates my two hobbies
Was doing art design and photography but now I grow trees.
Playa. Donāt hate.
I have a degree from an art school, audiophile gear isnāt beautiful by chance.
when oneās vocation coincides with oneās avocation, thatās when magic happens
Yep! Definitely Counts!
Hope you get to drink some of it too!
Healthcare Revenue Cycle Consultant here (but have a degree in Information Systems)
We call it ātastingā.
Data Analyst, not a particularly important one, but one none the less. My job involves listening, kinda one of the reasons for my resurgent interest in audio the last few years. Also, I am a professional FāK up as well so lets do break out the mind altering substances and see where the music takes us ehh?
Do you guys like what you do? I LOVED car audio since we were a high end shop and did a lot of custom work. But pay was just meh. Home theater money was slightly better but the job wasnāt as interesting. Software - great money but Iām burnt out on both the work and the corporate idiocy. Thinking of becoming a monk.
Monk will sound great until you find out you canāt fuck or masturbate
I didnāt say Iād be a model monk
More like 9-5.
9-5 is always great. Good to let ur guard down and take of that chastity belt once I a while
That is disrespectful He is a Pro Salesman.
Musician/teacherā¦Retired (we never really do.)
PS I do make cranberry/orange scones!
Freelance artist, here! Iāve done a bit of everything, though. I used to be the IT support person at a university HR office, I was an assistant teacher for a while and substitute teacher. Retail. Cooking (not pastries). But the underlying thread of all of that was artist, heh. Being freelance is a pain in the ass so Iāve had other jobs over the years to make it work. Right now Iām a farmer??? Yeah, go figure.
I did three years in Car Audio sales/install at Ye Olde Circuit City. Twas fun. Also left a more stable Credit Union career after almost a decade to do what I love. Doing what you love is rewarding, motivating. Up to the individual to determine if the dollars make cents.
I certainly used to like it much more beforeā¦ I am half hearted looking for a new job, but since i donāt hate my job, and my co-workers are a great bunch, i get very picky. Also, my current job has some days and weekends with inconvenient working hours, and not a very high salary, so if i where to change job those two must have better terms than i have right now.
Also, the workplace where i work now is undergoing big changes, so it would probably be smart to wait for the outcome of those to see if things improve or get worse before jumping on any decisions. Probably would know the outcome of that mid 2021, and with luck the whole Covid situation will also improve by then
Maybe Iām just too new for this, but Iām really happy overall. Need to make some choices the next few years, but working with R&D is incredible for me. Is like bringing ideas to existence, itās cool. IDK, maybe Iāll return to this question in a few years. Huahuahua
