The great thing about most of my friends and most people I listen to or read online is that they are forever trying to create their own niche. People have regular jobs and then they either do podcasting in their spare time so a wide audience can hear them. Also some are writing articles and possibly trying to get into the journalism game with their freelance work.
Also another example is of a DJ who started in Chapel Hill, he DJ'd at night and worked during the day until he got recognized nationwide. Now he travels around the state and the country doing the thing he loves and he quit his day job. Shouts out to DJ A-Minor
Me, I am trying to become a soccer scout. Not an agent, I am trying to find talent for teams and not for the player's representation. I started to think about scouting this time last year but I did not know how to get started. So I took this scouting course where I met some scouts from the MLS and the youth national team. Luckily for me, I live in a rich area for college soccer so they are asking me to go out to a bunch of games (UNC, NC State, Duke, UNCG, etc.) and scout for them. I will receive credit for the work I will do and hopefully it can help me get a job in the future.
I don't mind my day job but I don't foresee myself being here in the next three to four years. Hoping that this scouting thing pops off. I am going to be patient and try to perfect my craft in the next couple of years as I hopefully put some money in the bank for myself.
To all those others trying to do what they love, keep on chasing it and maybe you can do that for a living instead of what you are doing now.
And to the ones already doing it....
You lucky Bastards!!!!
