Okay, everyone else's dream is to become the next Avicii, Martin Garrix, whoever, I get it.

While dreaming big is all well and good, anybody else who do not come from generational wealth still have to put food on the table WHILE working on that dream - day jobs are needed for sustenance. I, and I suppose most people here, belong in that camp.

I'm currently working a (thankfully) remote job but it pays very little and unfortunately drains my energy for the day. I wake up looking forward to learning production and making music but still have to go to the gym, work my job, and at the end of all that, I already have little energy left to do what actually matters to me, which is music.

I'm thinking of eventually switching things up and changing my day job into a more "aligned" one. Something that has everything to do with audio - and I think that's the medium term goal anyone in my position should aspire to be in. It hits two birds with one stone, you get to improve your "sound" chops or skills while also not burning out and being able to pursue that main dream after that 9-5 job because there are lots of overlaps between the two.

What do you guys think? Has anyone made that transition, or is anyone currently in the process of doing so and willing to share their experience? Any strong reactions? Agree or disagree?
