Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights.
I’ve spent the past 12 years working in electronic music, and have been successful enough to have been able to make a fairly decent living as a DJ and music producer.
I know many people would envy my position, but the late nights and endless travel are beginning to feel less of a thrill and more of a burden.
My financial wellbeing is always uncertain. I turn 34 this year and would like to have a more secure future.
I have a Higher National Diploma in music production and a master’s degree in music technology.
I live in south London with my partner and we have a mortgage on our flat. I’ve talked to contemporaries who have made career shifts (albeit at a younger age), but nothing very obvious has emerged from these conversations.
Can anyone offer advice on a likely way forward?
