  Lately I feel like I don't want to do what I do anymore.

  Sick of dealing with clients and their neurotic comments about my work. Don't want to take a vacation. I want to smash my computer.

  Turning to QBN for career ideas. More outlandish the better... Bring it on.

  • Hit a heavy punching bag
  • Scream into a pillow
  • Take a long walk

  You're going to have clients, bosses, critics, customers, etc. no matter what you do. Just came to this obvious conclusion myself, recently.

  • I do muay thai. I kick/hit heavy bags repeatedly. Not helping.– sublocked

  I've been seriously considering learning to become a producer of electronic dance music (rather than a DJ) in my spare time, as it's passion of mine - but all the gear and software seems like a massive learning curve and investment lol.

  Was in a booth at a club with DJ friend the other night messing around with his launch pad after it closed, so fun :D

  I thought your gig was Cashboard, is it not?

  • yes, it is.– sublocked1/7

    Is it your company, or just who you work for?– ETM2/7

    If it's yours, maybe time to sell to a competitor and spend some time on a beach.– ETM3/7

    that's the loser's way out. no thanks.– sublocked4/7

    < I may be missing the point. But aren't many smart entrepreneurs looking for 'exit plan' from their businesses? Selling is winning for the right price– babaganush5/7

    For the right price...if you're tired, reap the rewards of what you have sewn.– babaganush6/7

    Yeah let me just get Google on the phone and ask for $20mil...BRB.– sublocked7/7

  I'd grow biodynamic vegetables for the nutritionally obsessed babycino-buying generation. But whatever it is I did next, I won't be able to shake the cold, cynical view of my clients that design has give me.

  @prophetone

  Thanks for the advice. Are there any midi keyboards you would recommend? I had a look at some the other day but really have no idea where to start lol. I also know you can get synths etc for iPads, and since we have 2 in our household (if I thieve my girlfriends), they could form a part of the workflow..?

  • best controller keyboard on the market is the Akai MPK line.– sublocked1/6

    ipad also makes a decent/passable synth, but a better controller. lots of great controller s/w for ipad.– sublocked2/6

    yeah the lil akais are good, or a novation sl25 for lots of knobs 'n goodies, buy used! hit up ebay like me.– prophetone3/6

    maschine will get you drumming and sequencing things, keyboard controller for synths, all else is software...– prophetone4/6

    i personally use pro tools but ableton is the bomb and so is logic, just preference 'n budget then go...– prophetone5/6

    i have lots of vintage drum machines, sequencers and samplers which is cool but $$$ over time– prophetone6/6

  For a bunch of creatives these ideas aren't very "out of the box". Nobody has started drinking today yet, have they?
