mikkel looked through his belongings to see if he could sell anything. he had a skateboard and a bicycle that he never used anymore. he also had an old guitar that he had never learned to play. he could probably get a couple hundred bucks for these items, but it was not enough to buy dj equipment. he needed a job, one that would not interfere with school or his passion.
mikkel thought about his skills and his interests. he wanted to get a job that would him develop into a better dj. he checked the local music shop to see if the owners needed any part-time , but they did not. then, he gathered his courage and called the local radio station to ask if there were any job opportunities there. the radio station did not need his either.
