when I was like 21 I read a piece of advice by Anna Wintour to aspiring couturiers - get a day job.

I have a day job as a programmer, it's pretty chill, lets me make music. And write code for more "artsy" stuff in my spare time, which I mentally liken to Renaissance painters painting portraits for money.

I'm considering going back to school for a maths PhD at some point, that would also be a pretty nice day job.
