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

If there is a high performance audio company near where you live contact them and see what they have to offer. The industry is tough and many of the manufacturers you see on the 'Gon are very small operations so you may not have a ton of success getting a lucrative position like you would in the banking industry.

Or, go into banking (for the money) and offer your services part time (for the love) to the owner of a local audio company in exchange for them "showing you the ropes". This scenario would allow you to still make a good living while testing the waters in the audio biz. You may decide you hate it. Sometimes the best way to ruin a hobby is to do it as a business!

I wish you success!
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!
