Every year, I always want a summer job and I usually never end up getting it for various reasons. People don’t hire me, I don’t look in the right places, and I’m kind of lazy too so I don’t look in the right places at all. However, recently a pretty cool idea came to me. What if I become a subway performer?!
Seriously. I’ll play guitar and sing songs and leave my guitar case open for anyone who wants to give me money. I checked the rules of performing online and it’s all legit. I just gotta find a place. Think about the benefits. I get to work my own hours. I get to do something I love. Itll do wonders for any stage fright issues I have, I meet tons of new people everyday, and possibly, I get put a smile on someone’s face. Now there are some downsides to this job. Number one. What if I get robbed or something?! That will be horrible and totally not cool. Secondly, i’ll be singing christian songs. Not like, praise and worship songs, but inspirational songs, would that hinder people from giving me money? Hmm, I guess it really doesn’t matter. Of course i’ll be straight up about my cause. I’ll put up a sign that says “My Summer Job” on my case or something, so people don’t think I’m doing it for charity. But this is something I’m seriously considering, what do ya’ll think?

I think your safety is a big concern! Have you thought about where you would perform? Performing in a busy station in the city would probably be much safer. Union Square is always filled with musicians, so I don’t know if that would work out… but I think that would be extremely safe there bc there is a police station INSIDE the train station!
If you REALLY go through with this, let me know! I’ll go to your opening performance =]
