How do they do it?

[Kraig]

I mean people with jobs with extensive travel. -- DJ's included.

I've been down to LA at least 6 times since January for work (here this week and are back again next week) and Miami for the WMC's and I'm tired already! I can't imagine dudes like Armin. Check out his schedule since March:

Damn.

[esoter1c]

That's a lotta suck.

[neoh]

I don't know about you, but that's a much better work schedule then what I have.

[LastWerd]

Ya that would kinda suck. I would miss having people close to me.

[.muffy.]

the goal that I'm going for is to become a buyer and that's going to mean a hell of alot of travel time
considering I've hardly ever been outside of anywhere other than the Americas (made it as far as Mexico), I'm looking forward to it
Even tho traveling for business means never really getting to see anything other than more offices and hotel rooms

[Kraig]

^^ This is true. Hotels, offices and sometimes pieces of the city you're staying in!

[.muffy.]

Good thing I totally love airports and flying

[FeelGood]

that is pretty extreme.

i guess if that was me the $$$ signs would motivate me enough to keep on givin'er.

I love travelling, so essentially my only demand (other than payment) as a dj.producer on tour would be to have someone I know with me so I can share the experience with.
Id be able to get through a schedule like that no problem.

[Ree Fresh]

ARE YOU COMPLAINING????

I should of looked into more jobs that include travel for Career Prep in High School :(

[Pennywise]

it's call passion.

my aunt is a designer and so she travels to paris and new york alot buying fabric and looking after bigger clients. she's in her 50's now and hasn't slowed down but it doesn't leave any time for family or friends.

my job is a seasonal job in that we go where the weather is. in the summer we race in the pacific north west, in the winter, we race in southern california, arizona and new mexico.

Im pretty sure u get use to it after a while

[Ray!]

wELL U SEE when u love what u do it's not a big deal, its like your business is pleasure. But you would have to do it for the love of electronica not money to know that feeling:202:

in the case of someone like armin you'd think he doesn't do much except chill while traveling, maybe picking/listening to music and just performing when he arrives.

as opposed to a normal business person who is probably working non stop on the flight and in meetings etc after they arrive.

where as armin could probably take a nap whenever he wanted.

You just know he's power napping as he is playing, you cant even tell, Armin is a machine

[MC Hammered]

I'm sure the $$$ helps motivate someone.

And for Armin?? 4 glasses of orange juice and a powernap before the show and he looks mint! Unreal eh?
