Sam’s Answer

Being a DJ is the type of job where you're most likely really going to enjoy what you're doing more than considering it hard work - you can perform for your friends at house parties, do corporate-type events or special occasions, or play at small or large music venues like bars and nightclubs. If you love music and can get some equipment to start learning with, you may find it's a job that you can make money with while still having a lot of fun. As your skills evolve, you will probably want to get into some level of music production or at least learn to make edits to the tracks you play to "make it your own" to differentiate yourself from others. If you decide to play at clubs, then you would be keeping later hours than if you play for daytime parties. If you love music, then this can be a fun and rewarding way to either make a little money or turn into a full-time career.

Dorian’s Answer

It depends on the kind of DJ you are. If you are working for a roller skating rink, the latest you would be out is perhaps 12am-1am. Unless there are special events of lockdowns are you are there all night. If you want to be a DJ for weddings, holiday parties, and other sort of formal things, they are all day jobs. Otherwise, if you are DJing for clubs and festivals that go all night, then you will be up all night.

Also, people assume a DJ is a regular salary job. In most cases, this isn't always true. If you do sign a contract to work for a certain company, then you will get salary. DJing in most cases, is a freelance job and you decide where to perform. So your income is based on how many places you DJ for, rather it be day or night jobs. The more you get out into town, the more people will come to you instead of you looking for work.
