I've had 20 jobs and I've quit all of them except one. which was rubbish and illegitimate anyways.

I'll just say this. If you don't want to work a 9-5, work hard AF so you don't have to have one.
:yeshrug:

Nah, I remember when my first job was going to fire someone they always asked them to come in early. They would have them work for a bit, and then fire them before the shift was over.



Crazy thing is, they got my ass too :snoop:

he just needs to elaborate.
Yeah, I'll elaborate. Work hard AF doing something you actually want to do and put as much time, money, and whatever into that possible so it actually takes off and you can live off of doing something you actually love doing as supposed to something you hate doing just to pay the bills and keep the lights on.

That's why I just have been going hard AF with music as of late. Thank god I ain't doing rap. There are too many black men doing rap. Being a black man doing EDM now I stand out more and get more attention. That's leading to gigs...which pay alot more then what I would be doing doing the 9-5 thing.

I'd rather make $500-$2500 playing music for 2 hours then not even making that in a week/month at some fukking bullshyt 9-5. Plus I feel like I'm making a profound cultural impact by using my gaining position to address issues of diversity & race in the entertainment/music industry...especially in these scenes dominated by whites.

Once you make a name for yourself and get bigger bookings and gigs you can use that as leverage and command upfront booking prices of $5000-$10,000 per show...or more. My dream is to get to $25,000 fee for a show.

I've received some great co-signs too....I don't care too elaborate too much, but there's a reason I had to cool off on my old posting habits as of late on here. I don't want to lose money by having to answer to tweets or internet posts I made in the past that others may be seeing as hateful, homophobic, racist, sexist, misogynistic, etc...by people who will use those against m.

I just came to the conclusion a while back that I'm not built for the corporate world or the 9-5 grind. Even though I have 10 years plus of work experience on my resume, 2 degrees, an insurance broker license, and references out the ass.
:camby:

BEing around people I can't stand, can't relate to, have nothing in common with, wearing uncomfortable ass dress clothes, having to act a certain way to make other feel comfortable, and being black in that environment is fukking mentally taxing...especially if you're in a very non-diverse workplace. Who really wants to do that shyt? I threw out all of my dress pants and dress shirts and never felt happier.
:blessed:
