Are you working for government?
Is it a scam? You want a CV?
Are you hiring?
What do you do?
Is it important?
What do you eat? How does it cost?
You pay your bills?

I've been driving professionally for the last 11 years and had registered ®️ my own LLC for a private driver for hire and all.

I would prefer if I made a living off my music but being realistic there's 1000's of bands and artists and Melodic Death Metal isn't really gonna rake in Taylor Swift $$$$$$.

I occasionally get a computer build freelance job or optimization, virus removal or parts upgrades etc...

I occasionally sell glow jewelry, charms, trinkets etc...

I occasionally do photography 📸 for shows/concerts under Mark Weiss tutelage. Some engagement or wedding or other family portrait pictures.

Sometimes I even get the odd job someone wants me to take a close up photo of the moon, planetary photography of Mars, Jupiter or Saturn or Constellations & Galaxies.

I also freelance Mixing & Mastering music.

Freelance Video Restoration and Mastering too from VHS/DVD/Bluray to 4K HDR 10+

I'm a jack of all trades pretty much because even though I graduated and electronics engineering and circuit boards I don't repair TVs and VCRs and such since technology has advanced and everything happened so quick between 99 and the early 2000s so I had to move on and learn other trades by working many different jobs as odd as they may seem even construction I did Plumbing Roofing masonry carpentry painting electrical gas pipes you name it.

But my driving is where I make most my bread I would ideally like to just do computer work, music, video restoration and rendering, photography etc. And work from the safety of my home but we all have pipe dreams.🤷‍♂️

What kinda vehicle do you drive? I've had a few different driving jobs throughout the years, and they're my favorite of all the standard jobs I've had. I prefer to drive cargo vs. people, but I'll do whatever. I had a great gig delivering auto parts in California. It didn't pay a ton but that was the only downside, decent company truck, same route everyday, great customers who liked me, good coworkers, and the drive really was gorgeous. I kinda had the life there for a minute.

MetalGuitaristTim, sounds like quite a lot of the stuff I do at times- being a generalist with a lot of focuses can help big time as you can do the job of multiple people without having to outsource. My main trade these days is Videogame Development, I do everything I can from 3D, SFX, Music, Photography, Restoration/Conversion of old media, Physical Props/Jewellery for live action scenes .etc- it can send schedules into overload but I got used to it. I used to work in TV/Film mostly but got more interested in interactive content.

On the side, I have set up a few businesses as I saw there's a chance for some passive income based on some of these skills. I think the most important thing is learning how to invest time + money to build everything up, in my case- when I was younger I spent most of my time on drinks & whatever to make me happy but the good times quickly faded so had to buy more drink to forget that I spent all the money I should have been using for positive things. Eventually I got out of that and spent 100% of my money on setting up the foundations for work, things like equipment, office space and the like- had to eat a lot of noodles but eventually it paid off.

I have a business arm outsourcing whether it's audio production, physical items or photography- there is the downside of AI eating some chunks of business but the novelty is wearing off a bit and people often liken AI produced content to cheap repetitive stuff they don't want to buy. AI will likely continue eat certain areas up so just have to navigate around that and figure out which elements are less likely to be impacted, I wouldn't bother getting into AI content as your generations usually become the basis for someone else's work- the whole industry is built on users being free labor to train content. It's like a content human centipede, some kind of end game corporations are using to wipe out competition and be #1?

Anyway, seems like some of your skills overlap into my territory so if you want to network feel free to send a message- there's always random opportunities popping up that could be of interest.
