I went out with a pro-musician a little while ago, who had moved into IT, as I saw it his biggest problem was the dramatic change of lifestyle. He was touring and being paid around £1k a week in the 80's, with hotels, flights and groupies included...

Even the best PMs don't get that

Scuba diving instructor. The real sharks are much less dangerous than the office-based ones.

I do the contracting to fund my gambling...I mean trading activities.

It was a lot of fun but I did manage to make a living. I miss the tours but I don't think I would have the energy anymore.

Never been a pro-musician, but if I wasn't in IT that's probably where I'd be directing my energies. Been in a number of amateur bands and such, and kind of miss that travelling lifestyle in a way. Didn't enjoy the fact that I had feck all money though...

Before contracting I was a pro musician and very shortly I'll be going back to that and giving up IT completely. Not so much live gigging although there will be some of that, but I'm getting more work writing for TV & film (and corporate vids).

Hi Alf, not see you for a while, how are you ? Bought Tommy yesturday in HMV - only £3.99 !!

Buy yer way to Heaven -
That comes to one pound seven !

Did you ever see the faces of the Children - they get so excited ?

Waking up on Christmas morning hours before the Winters Sun ignited ?

But Tommy doesnt know what Day it is -
he doesnt know who Jesus was - or what praying is ...

How can he be saved ?

From the eternal grave ?

Didn't have the money round to buy a Nuclear Bomb
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
The worse crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside
The air in here is pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know

Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last
Stranger from another planet welcome to our hole
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock 'n roll

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know ...

on purley a money basis, its very difficult for me to get anything started because the money is just so good doing what I'm doing in IT and anything I have started in the past or want to in the futire makes me think...whats the point, I guess getting into property early was good, but I've had my own business, which has grown and is still very good, but it just does not bring in the same amount of money as the contract work I'm doing now.
