teach me your ways master.
I'm assuming you play keys, me too and just landed a church job. Im a student and it is my first actual job as a pianist so I dont get paid as much as you, only $25/hr. I have some questions for you.
What denomination of church do you play for? If you have had other church jobs, can you speak to which kinds of churches pay the most?
Do you play organ, piano, or both? Do you exclusively do music in service or do you also play weddings/funerals/special events?
Have you thought about picking up another gig at a Seventh Day Adventist church or even a Synagogue?
I'm a musician too, play around 5 gigs a months and I kinda get around working at a friend's pub for extra money, is not a dream but it's a pretty relaxed lifestyle and I have plenty of time to do a lot of things

There is no purpose to anything.

Yeah but it's not much when you rehearse once a week and play every other Sunday. And every church meets on Saturday/Sunday, so you can't really work multiple churches.

Exactly. You get paid a lot by the hour but it's difficult trying to find people to pay you and doubly so when you live somewhere infested with competing musicians.

It's fun. The job is handling paperwork, answering calls, talking to people, driving him and packages around, scheduling appointments, reminding him about stuff. It takes a lot of organization skills, but I definitely don't find it difficult, they pay's not amazing, but it's good.
Might run for a political office one day.

It's like being a NEET except you have to work 4 hours a week. The advantage being that you do have a job so people don't consider you like a complete faggot.
