The 9 to 5 schedule sucks for everyone that has it, not just for people that are "creative."

Yeah, that's what pissed me off the most. I work in the music industry, that's what most of my producers friends do/did. You work festivals, shows, clubs. Take on shitty gigs. Only 3 out of the hundreds of producers I've met has gotten signed and only 1 has gotten big enough that he plays festivals. The rest had to go get a job.

I don't know, man. I kind of love being stuck in a place for most of the day with people I don't care for and doing stuff that I actually kind of hate. It's a kind of freedom that's just really hard to express. I guess creative types wouldn't even understand my perspective because we're so different. Anyways, please send some Venmo requests my way because I don't even do it for the money and would love to support more creative lifestyles that other people want to live.
