How can I leave this DEAD-END job and become an Artist/Entrepreneur?

Question by Single New Mommy, 1st due 7-2-10: How can I leave this DEAD-END job and become an Artist/Entrepreneur?
I am 26 and have been out of college for 4 years. I have only worked as as Administrative Assistant and this is NOT MY career goal, just a way to pay bills. I know with the economy being bad—I’m lucky to have a job, yet it is hindering me from pursuing my music career. I know a lot of contacts in the music industry in the city I live but find it hard to make appointments, etc. when I have to be at work every day at 8a.m. I want to find a more casual/flexible job until I can transition into a full-time artist and entrepreneur. Please help me find those steps…and please don’t say—work on my goals while working this current job, because this current job SUCKS the life right out of me. And is effects my energy level and overall attitude. I am SINGLE and have no kids.

I have had some of the boring est jobs, and have no career goals. The jobs payed well enough and I need money at the time.My goal has always been not to work at all. You are being realistic about the job market now, people are being lay ed off and not willing to accept a job beneath them so they go on unemployment, It will be a while before things straighten out and I am confident they will. My advice is to save as much money as possible in a year take one of those beneath you jobs where the hours are flex able and you can per sue your dreams. Good luck with your dreams and I am sure they will become a reality.

sorry about all the typos, not even the spell check could straighten them out. Very tired.
