Thanks guys. I've been told multiple times now not to mix business and hobbies, so I guess that's a major peice of advice.

Tokudai --- sounds like you've had quite the business experience. I'd ask you more questions but you say you found your niche fast and at the right time, and that's my problem right now. I want to have a career dealing with music in some capacity but I don't want to deal with the overall bullshit that is the Music Industry (it's a load of crap, trust me). I just really cannot find a way to incorporate music into a self-made business that isn't being done by hundreds of people per city already (magazines, recording studios to name a few). It's killing me, college applications are due in 3 weeks and I have no idea if that is the route to take anymore.

Ericwt --- may I ask what your original business was dealing with? Not specifically if you don't want to answer, but the area you expertised in. Was it something you liked so you started it? Was the market ready for something like this so you took advantage? I'm not sure if I should try to incorporate something I like into my business to make it a passion or just find what the market is looking for right now and get on the gravy train. The problem with the gravy train though is, if it turns out to be a fad and ends, where does that leave me?
