Thanks, I hope this helps! I was stuck in a 9-8 job 6 days a week driving a shit $500 car and never seemed to have any money. I ended up getting fired and it was the best thing that could have happened. I got into event work, mainly setting up/breaking down weddings. It's hard work but if you do it for awhile, gain some skills, network a little bit, it's awesome. Now I work about 3-4 days a week with rent paid 3 months ahead and have a car I can uber with if I'm bored or want to make more money in a slow month. Get out there and kick some ass!
I'll probably delete this comment in about an hour b/c job security but if you have questions about how to get into it you can PM me.
