Breaking into the industry

Hello all,
This may be off topic, but i was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to work in the HiFi industry. I am graduating from college in May with a degree in economics and the more i think about my options, the more i want to turn my back on a career in banking or finance. I absolutely adore music and would nothing more than to be surrounded by it everyday. Thanks fo the help,
Matt

Asonicyouth,

You might try:

Harman International--They own a variety of companies including Levinson and Proceed. Well capitalized and they pay well.

Just a thought.

Regards!

I would stick to the banking/finance career and in your spare time start reading everything audio, experimenting, maybe taking EE classes at a local college, building kit components, PC's, IC's, etc. and see what you like specifically. Then focus on that area and start to turn the hobby into a serious side business.

Good luck,

Get a Masters degree...an undergrad economics degree will land you on the bottom rung when compared to anybody with a Biz MA, unless you're from a serious Ivy League school or really lucky. Also note there is very little real money in audio sales, so be prepared to suffer for years, or live with your parents!
