I've been thinking recently that I need some $$$ and some real world moves. I may try to get a job as an engineer at Rane. Has anyone worked there or knows what they're like as an employer?
Oh and I look for jobs.
the upshot being printing giant nekkid ladies for wallpaper (amongst other things) and being able to put my personal artwork up in windows/alleys/bustops in under 5 minutes.
Believe me it's fascinating work, that's why I spend all my time blogging and on soulstrut.
Work as a project manager at a university medical center dept of radiology.
Self-employed in arts related advertising and distribution for the last 4 years, don't make a lot of cash but only work 6-15 days per month.
I get paid a whole heck of a lot, I get full insurance, profit sharing,401k, and money for school. I get reimbursed for any medical expense. If I buy tylenol, I bring in the receipt and they cut me a check. So I usually save up all my receipts like that for about 2 months and get broke off with a nice check. I also just found out that they are going to be paying for my daycare expenses next year. Thank god. I dropped 8K on daycare this year.
NOt a bad job, because in reality, I dont really do that much.
For example, today I'm writing text for an adidas DVD but on Friday I was making animations in After Effects for Playstation.
I'm currently working a three-month contract at my old employer, but I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing this time next year...
Probably not the right place for a plug, but fuck it... someone might like my stuff and commission something.

Started in SF as a service rep, transfered back to NYC as a junior broker.
Amid corporate scandal I caught a nice severence and opened this:
Where you can find me day in and day out, blowing reefer and grading records...
And when I next make it out to NYC, that will be one of the first places I come to visit! Can't wait!
Full time rat racing. Human fucking zoo. Funny sometimes, depressing others. Can't complain.
Oh yeah, I post here too.
Oh, thank God my boss doesn't want to fuck me.
a)engineering
b)producing
c)find bands to record and liscence
d)be young (i am 10 years youner than my 2 partners)
hopefully we will have a good go at it. things are looking good. we are ultimately going to be writing music to be liscenced(thats where the money is these days). but until then i will record/mix/guerilla master anything that comes my way. hollur if you hear me.
before that i was a freelance engineer/wiring guy(installing audio and video systems).
before that i was a restaraunt whore.
i like being my own boss.
I've also done some work for ABC, and some freelance.
But for now until august it's the record company, we sell a lot of chartcrap and stuff i wouldn't touch with a ten foot remote but we also have Kent, SoulJazz, Grapevine, loads of jazz, soul, blues, world music etc etc and also some rap stuff and such.. plenty of everything so to speak..
I'm also an artist (drawing, painting etc) but haven't really tried to make any money from it..
