What kind of job should a violinist like me get if I want to change careers?
I have no high school diploma or high school degree.
Skills/experience:
Intermediate/advanced general computer skills
Music – 9 years!
Courier/driving
Forklift experience
Some auto repair
Leadership
Stage presence/theater
Music teaching
Physically strong/agile
Cash register
People/telephone skills
I hate sales jobs.
Maybe I should to something totally different and out of the blue. Violin teaching/performing isn’t paying the bills let alone the self employment tax.
I have a wife and kid.
I have been thinking customer service for a cell phone company would be just the thing. (?) Good advice from all, though.
