In my opinion, a dream job would be something you enjoy, something fun and a job that pays well. Without a doubt my dream job would to be a DJ. Its fun, enjoyable and it pays extremely well. It is close to the most exciting job ever. You get to play in some of the most spectacular cities in the world and sell out some of the most amazing venues. Your whole life would be one big thrill. I have watched a few documentaries following DJ’s around the globe. One that stood out to me was “Chasing Armin”. It followed the life of Dutch DJ and music producer Armin Van Buuren and his crew. They travelled the globe playing in some of the best venues. The documentary gave you a backstage experience and showed you how a show was put together from assembling the stage to sound checks and to Armin mixing music. I know for a fact that life as a DJ would be one epic adventure. However I know this crazy party would not come without difficulties.
I understand that with this lifestyle it would be very hard to be healthy and this is a must in my opinion. Life on the go would be great fun but when the time comes to sleep I'm sure it would not be as easy as it would be at home in your own bed. Constantly on the go would be very tiring on both your body and mind. A few hours sleep every now and then if you’re lucky. Dimitri Vegas once tweeted that he played three gigs in three venues in two different countries. No one could deny how draining that would be. Life on the road would also be quite difficult. I would not be one to get home sick but when constantly on the road sometimes you just need family. Always missing birthdays and other special events would have an effect on you.
I would love to be a DJ because when I'm watching my favourite DJ’s I cant help but admire their energy. I watch it and imagine how good they have it. I love music and it is a passion of mine. Imagining myself playing on the main stage of Tomorrowland or U.M.F. Miami is something that gives me chills down my spine. Pleasing crowds of thousands must be one of the best feelings in the world. I couldn't imagine anything better. Certain aspects of some shows just look like so much fun. Steve Aoki throwing a cake at someone or Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike spraying champagne. It just all seems too good to be true. It's a job I'd love to experience.
