I have a neighbor who is a signer, does bar gigs, was doing alright before the pandemic but probably barely scraping by. It's a lifestyle.
During the pandemic, he sold his car, collected unemployment.
One of his bars never reopened.
I was talking to him last night and he venting to me. He says he can't do some jobs because he doesn't have a car. I asked him if he's been applying for other types of jobs and he says the job market is tough and he only wants to sing. He doesn't want another career. I tell him he could always get a day job and save for a car and then sing again or at night.
Is the economy bad? Is it hard to get a random day job you don't care about?
Is it ok to hold on to your dreams and put all your eggs in one basket waiting for success?

- DVs are probably from people who think omaha is a subtle troll. Well, significantly less than subtle in the porn thread.Nairn
- @phanlo - public transport in America, especially the flyover states, is notoriously poor. Too commischef, or something.Nairn
- I love how singing is seen as a lifestyle. Some people make good money from it - when they're not in a pandemic and everywhere is fucking shut.Ianbolton
