[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 43277, member: 158"] Re: Getting the gig. Where did it all start? as have i. in fact, steve and i may even be thinking of some of the same ones... :) fact is, this is a tough business to get into, and to make money in. it's very competitive, and requires very significant investment. if you aren't in it because you can't envision yourself doing anything else, you're probably not gonna succeed long term, regardless of your 'x factor'. i for one decided long ago that 'the gear business' was not for me. i did perfectly well as a freelance engineer and i've now moved on to [been put out to] greener pastures. i have no regrets. i knew i wasn't cut out to slog it out with the big boys and contented myself with being the 'ranch hand'. not everybody wants or needs to own the farm...
