I had friends who formed a ska band and were basically local legends. They ended up playing at some really quality venues before breaking up. If you're a musician, definitely go for it.
You should also consider playing in a band for cruise ships. I had a friend who was a vocalist and came really close to doing this. I've never been a musician, so I don't know about how tough it is to break in. You'll probably have to do a bit of networking but you'd be getting paid to travel, network and would have some awesome job experience for future employers.
Edit: DJing is another awesome skill you guys should look into. Assuming you learn the basics (beatmatching, mixing, scratching) all you need to DJ nowadays is a laptop with some mixing software. You can make a killing at weddings, parties, etc.
What was the ska bands name?
