Yes, I would. I actually dated a man who had a side gig as a DJ. I used to go with him from time to time. It was hard work and boring. 
Would you marry a guy who was a DJ?

What kind of stability/career would that vet in the long run though? Translatable skills?
Most DJ's are independent so then you gotta worry about taxes, SS, unemployment and health insurance.
It is not a guaranteed paycheck (hard to make a budget around) and I really see it as a dying craft. I mean everyone has access to music now so you set up a digital dj and save 100's of dollars.
And it may be ok in your 20's but can I really see my husband dj'ing until he hits 65 and retires? lol.
A select few will be hugely successful but most need to just keep it as a side gig.

I think you all are thinking about DJ's that work in a club. There are other types of DJ's.
I have a friend that owns a DJ company that does weddings and bar mitzvahs. It's definitely not the party lifestyle y'all seem to be picturing. Plus he makes ALOT of money
