It’s a lot of fun for someone who likes preforming, but it’s heavily in dependant on the weather. I’m itching to go out and play but this rain won’t stop!

Maybe if you get your name in with some local farmers markets you’ll have an indoor gig opportunity? Those are really popular for buskers around my area.

Mhh. The issue with markets where im from is that they’re on closed down streets. Zero indoor market opportunities till october-december, and those are tight and crowded.

The local farmers market is indoors, but it doesn’t open until July.

Start two new jobs this week, soon to be three!
I will be working at a gym as a nanny for lil ones, and helping an elderly man with Parkinson’s. In a few weeks as well I will be opening my first stall at a local market for folk remedies, salves, and charms.

I’m a little jealous of all 3 of you for your bravery to perform music! I’ve played Trombone for a little over 13 years now and I’ve never found it to be a good solo instrument, though I’ve always loved it. I’m currently playing in my local community band so I’m at the very least getting some playtime in that way!

As far as my day job, I’ve worked in a grocery store for 5 years and have recently secured a spot in management. Never where I thought I’d find myself, but the company has been surprisingly beneficial for me

I feel you. I would never be able to start a solo performance on sax, although I have been considering placing an investment on a looper and some distortion pedals to change my sound a bit and give more creative freedom.

What I do for a paycheck : Currently Active Duty USN. I work with computers, mostly. And RADAR, a little.
What I do for me : Game design student, with goals of designing my own games, and/or working on the AAA titles I already enjoy.

Active Duty always sounds cooler than it is, mostly its cleaning and trainings.

I just graduated from college on May 4th! So I am currently in the post grad state of limbo. I have been going on job interviews but so far nothing has stuck. I did turn down a job in Atlanta and another one in Nashville because I didn’t feel that spark that I need. I majored in Fashion Merchandising with a focus on PR and Events, but I have recently started my own candle company. It is still in the beginning stages. I have just purchased the soy wax that is biodegradable and botanical along with the scents that I want to work with. My containers have just arrived this week from my vendor. I am just waiting to go pick up my candle wicks on Monday! I am excited to get the ball rolling and hopefully post a pic of my finished product!

First off, congrats @alexanderskye on your graduation! Good luck with the company - it sounds brilliant!
To introduce myself to the thread, I recently started a job in the police as a civilian member of staff. I’m struggling a bit at the moment to find my place there, as I’ve always been a bit quieter and tend to find it hard to bond straight away with people! I used to struggle with social anxiety during uni and this new job has brought it all back a bit. Anyone have any tips on settling in to a new job?

Let me know if you need any branding or labels for your company. I might be able to help. Congratulations on the graduation by the way.

Does anyone here have any tips or experience with setting up their own business as I’m looking into starting up my own dog walking business and would really appreciate some help!

Hello everyone, such a diverse lot we are as far as day jobs go.
I’m currently a laboratory technician, my primary focus is water. Mainly testing for nutrients and the like, mostly low-level stuff and mostly clean (other than the sediment stuff). Which is a gross departure from my other life as a Vet Nurse which was far from clean 
I must admit as much as I miss the animals I do not miss the mess
