thats my 2nd job- or my write off job.
my day job is a FOH tech for a sound company here locally in pittsburgh.
i also flip apartments for people, i walk in to shitty ass buildings and redo them into nice apartments.
i work 7 days a week, to pay off 82k in college debt.
this is what i do for a living- does this meet your standards of a thief?
and if you want to know how i got my start in either business its by doing stuff for free for people.
i have friends (older) than are landlords, that had minor leaks and such, instead of them hiring a plumber who would charge them 100 dollars just to show up, i'd have them take me out for dinner to solder some copper pipes. i can do flooring, drywall, framing, roofing, plumbing, and electrical.
the studio and the gear i got, was because i would go out of my way as a FOH engineer when i worked in a casino to make people comfortable on stage. plus i give alot of studio time away to the artists that lend the gear to the studio, we do pod casts, tv shows, and record full length albums in the studio, some engineers do lessons there, as well.
and the FOH tech job, i got from word of mouth as being a hard working kid who is good at what i do. i work for the biggest sound company in western pa, and we have one of the largest systems around here-
i work hard everyday, all day.
what do you do for a living?
so again- does this fit your standards as a theif?
to everyone else i'll respond to your quotes hopefully tomorrow, i'm enjoying a beer right now after a long weekend out of town.
