Bboy Professions -

If i were to be a full time bboy. Besides the winning of tournaments how could you make a living of of breakin'? Like say enough to support a family.
An example of this maybe someone who taught classes.

In Korea you can probably do something like that. I mean, they're like NBA stars over there...well, the high-caliber bboys like Hong 10, Physicx, Born, etc. I'm sure they make a good living.

not exactly what you'd think though.
i forget which crew it is, but they all live in a one bedroom apartment and they wake up early in the morning to go do odd jobs to pay for rent and a studio.

Doood, don't put all your eggs in one basket... I mean trying to make a living off bboying is cool, but have at least some kind of academic backup that will offer you a career if worst comes to worst.

i don't think you can make good money
with breakin, if you're not one of the best,
so have a plan B,
try to have sam academic back up,
like ringerINC said,
you can still break and have a career
i know a bboy, that is a DJ,
and he is a real good bboy,
and a real good DJ,
and besides that he is an
architect.

^ i agree with the academic fallback statement. a full time bboy is a FULL TIME bboy. you'd need about the most loyal girl in the world to maintain a family with a job like that. also very independent kid(s). or just chain them up.

I would never rely on Bboying to make a living, but then again, I'm trying to make it as an actor, so who am I to preach?
As with any endeavor where fame/"being the best" is the key factor to success, I would always have something substantial to fall back onto, so stay in school, and then if you make it big, go all out for it. But don't limit your options should nothing go the way you want it to.
