Re: Career in audio a worthwhile endeavor?I got out of the live sound end of the business around age 40. Moving to install and manufacturing.I am making many many times more than I did doing live sound (which was nothing because I kept investing it back into gear).However the experience I learned during all those "live" years have been VERY helpful in my recent career-and I could not do those jobs without that previous experience (at least as well).I always thought that if I won the lottery it would be great to have a nice system and only do the gigs I wanted (with bands I wanted to work with) and hire plenty of help so I did not have to do all the "heavy lifting"-even though I would anyway-it is just the way I am. I can't stand around and watch other work-I have to be helping or I feel "weird".
