Nope, tour photographer for my favourite metal bands. It can be stressful in terms of deadlines and just because you travel you don't see the actual sights as often as you'd like but I don't have anyone looking over my shoulder and there is plenty of off time outside of it to enjoy life and chillout when needed. I did over 100 shows last year so I took on a lot less for 2015 and just concentrated on things like promo work and anything else closer to home. I worked in the film industry before too and that was probably one of the most stressful situations I've ever been through, you would think it would be fun everyday but I've met my fair share of actors who aren't at all like the media would want you to believe and the hours were insane. I also worked as a projectionist for a film ratings board, that was okay and I got to see movies early and meet the directors since they usually attended a screening to argue their rating. I think one thing I learned is there really is no such thing as a dream job and at the end of the day it's still work, but as long as I have downtime for gaming and the like then it's all good.
