When the going gets tough, start DJing

The New York Times today published a rather heart-warming tale about how the numbers of aspiring DJs out there has gone up significantly since the economy went belly up.

Apparently workers who have been laid off recently are considering new careers doing something that they really like, and DJing happens to be high on the list of many people’s dream jobs.

New York DJ schools dubspot and Scratch DJ Academy have experienced a large increase in students (dubspot’s enrollment numbers have doubled), with many of their new students having been made redundant.

Rob Principe, the founder and chief executive of Scratch DJ Academy said, “When the going gets tough, people tend to go back to things that they are really interested in doing, whether that is to pursue something like this as a hobby or as an alternate means of income.”

So the upside to the recession is that there will be more parties and more DJs with talent.
