Just curious to know what everyone does for a job?
Do you have a regular job? Who performs their art and gets paid? and if so do you work aswell?

I would love to do performances eventually but Im not at the momment.So Im currently working 2 small part time jobs which include cooking at the community centre,cleaning a school and I also make crocheted headwear/accessories(would love to be able to live off this eventually!).Im also going to start work as a teahing assistant next month.
So what about everyone else?

Nothing hugely interesting I'm afraid. I'm a computing systems network manager for a small jukebox manufacturing company.

I'd love to perform at some point in my spinning career too! I'm just trying to get together a local circus arts style group for just this reason (and it's even going quite well :D)!

I climb trees for a living. Though, unfortunately, I'm injured at the moment so effectively unemployed. Hard times, looking forward to being fit again, I bloody love my job ^_^

I'm a student, so the government gives me all my money, and I spend all my time spinning, haha. Haven't done any performances myself, haven't even done my first burn yet (friday!), but am really looking forward to the day.

Im currently an apprentice in tunnels, heavy machinery and explosives gives me my pennies :P

the way I work really gives me time to practice and perform with poi and meteor, 2 weeks work and 2 weeks of (working 6 hours from home and living there)

i am currently a plasterer. it pays well, its just not a very solid job. i also perform in a covers band, which earns me enough to indulge in whatever i want.

umm no performances as of yet.. but hopefully some coming up soon.

i would love to join a group of performers, just to get some experience.

I am a stay at home mom of three boys, so I am a chef, a maid, a teacher, a hugger and a lover :)

I also dabble here and there, I sell Legal Services and help people with their wills and identity theft.

I perform fire hoop and regular hooping. I make and sell hoops, I teach lessons. I do a lot more in the summer time, since no one really performs in the winter time here in the Midwest US

I just got into Poi, as soon as I feel I am good enough to perform I will, so I will stick to the park in front of the kids and other moms who think my VERY simple tricks are incredible.

I'm a manager at a pizza joint. It's money, the job is easy and the boss is really cool. Not extremely useful in making spinning contacts.

I also, on occasion, go to places around town, toss down my hat and spin. Usually make enough money to get some munchies or something but nothing spectacular lol.

Dont have a job...yet, being that im 15. But i do quite a good job at getting money from tourists with small juggling street shows i do downtown. I also teach pickpocketing lol. Its not as bad as it seems trust me, see i do it in such a humorous way that people enjoy it and end up feeling generous :) so ya thats what i do... for now until i get a job.
