I have worked a square (40+ hrs/wk) and been in this music shit for about 4 years.. I get up at 6am (sometimes 7am) and am up until at least 1am.... there have been some nights I've gone into work on 2 hours of sleep if I've covered a show the night before.... oh.. and I am also a single mother of two.. so I have three jobs.. lol..
In the past four years I've had no real personal relationships (boyfriend/girlfriend) and I've decided that if all goes well with who I'm with now, I'll wrap up the music end of things this year.

Oh. And I get by poppin' an occasional diet pill (or two)... 'script, not the over the counter shit, never that.

I was SOOOOO hooked on Fintermine (SP?) for about 2 years, but now I can't even take a no doze without makin me violently jittery. I stick to coffee now.

I have a full time, plus all my little music/writing projects I work on, plus tryin to have a productive marriage where my husband doesn't get intimidated when he sees pics of me with artists like Keak and PS, or trip when my phone rings and someone wants me to jump 'right now'....I too think I may step back from a lot of my music shit and only write bios and articles, and not be as focused on the management and promotions shit.

I worked two jobs for four years, plus I went to school. One was a full time and the othere was like 30+ a week. I still don't know how I did it. I just had to so I did, necessity makes you strong.

2 jobs man...

I work for the State during the day, and I work at my friends pizza place @ night. It sucks, but when I get my checks (plural)....yeeee! It cuts into my time with my daughter, but she understands. school is starting soon, and she has to go to school dipped in sauce...feel me.

i usually eat light during the day, catch a catnap at my desk, go home to shit, shower & shave...burn one & I'm ready for my next shift. I also have my little music thang on the side, so that gets squished inbetwixt the rest of my daily routine....

IN THE LONG RUN IS WORKIN 2 JOBS WORTH IT?? DOES IT ADD UP GOOD DURIN TAX SEASON??





So many things factor into the answer youre lookin' for.. single/married/kids/home .. working two jobs and making more money will allow you to live comfortably I suppose but I'll tell you from experience.. sometimes theres just no amount of money to compensate for TIME OFF.

i don't do this now, i only have 1 job. but when i was 18-20 i worked 2 jobs and went to school full time...
on the week days i would get like 4 hours of sleep and the weekends i'd be lucky if i got 2 hours...i took diet pills on the weekends when i had to be at work at 6am-2pm one job and then 3pm-11pm at another, and then i would stay out till like 4am and do it all over agian.
