Why not start part time evenings / weekends which is when most DJs work anyway? It takes a while to build up clientelle. It's not your age that's in question but perhaps your logic.

I worked as a part-time DJ on weekends for 5 years. It is fun at first but can get boring, all depending on the type of place you work at. Most radio stations follow a certain format and don't let the DJ pick out the music. Everything on older radio stations is about timing to the split second and flipping a switch. Most of any of the current stations are mostly computerized. To get a job on air radio you have to have a FCC license. Most people have to go to a broadcast communications school to learn. If there is a local college nearby they may have a station that you can work for free at if you take classes there. The pay is low for the average DJ and it is a hard buisness to break into. There are lots of people who get practice and get good while doing a Karokee type gig or working with a local music place that does weddings and party music. If you go out on your own, plan to spend a minimum of $25,000 to get "basic equipment". Then there is the cost of buying all the music. It is not cheap to start. If you are good and build a good reputation you will stay busy. Expect to take anywhere from $100-500 home before expenses per show when you start out. You still gotta pay for gas in a van to haul all that equipment and for a room if you are outta town. Good Luck. Joe

no longer attempting to sound like a stressful guy, yet with reference to the only time I cry is with the help of dying. I even tend to alter into extra pissed than dissatisfied over issues. i think i'm an extremely stereotypical male in that regard. Did Incubus of every person extremely merely call somebody else a sociopath and a psychopath?

No. But don't quit your day job. You may think you can be a DJ but the stations may think you aren't DJ material. Keep your day job until you know it is a sure thing.
