When I was "young" (1990s), I daydreamed about a career in the music industry... A&R, "album" (LOL) promotions, road manager and/or band roadie. In my 20s, I took a 9-month break from working after a lay-off, took college classes in music industry and broadcasting, DJ'd at a college radio station, volunteered in local concert events, and made a good number of local music industry contacts (enough so people knew of me from concerts or on the air). I could have landed an entry level job at a small record label or promotions company, at low pay, but I realized I couldn't deal with the huge Egos and BS I was surrounded by in my volunteer music fantasy world, vs the nice "corporate" folks I surrounded by in my former day jobs.

So I decided to stick to my day job in IT, but I found more "fun" employers in broadcasting and consumer products industries.

Now that I am a federal IT contractor, I yearn for the former fun jobs but I am so grateful I allowed myself to take almost a year off from working to pursue a passion. No regrets! [/quote]
