do you have any idea on how to make hobby become a lifetime business? let's say, got people like small animal, and etc. for me, i like audio things, speaker, amps, and etc. btw, i dont have sufficieint knowledge on this, so, what should i do? furtheremore, i scare not much people is willing to spend such money for a good audio set.....just like many audio shops in shopping malls... closing down one by one... really sad... so, should i take my hobby as my career or business? if yes, what should i do? if no, why? thx

the thing is, i have very limited knowledge about audio at this moment... i like to play around with my speakers... and i foudn that i learn audio things very fast and easy... because i just wan to know more and more... i have a good pr skill also... and i like business.... i just came into a wrong course.... if i have a chance to choose again, i will take business instead of engineering...

Besides that, u also need to improve the current skill of the particular business or u find partner who can trustworthy to share with. this all just my own opinion. ;-) so hope we can share more here.. u mustget someone who has a same hobby also what... not easy.... what they think is, it is impossible to make hobby a business..l.

You can try Kenwood electronics if you are damn good in technical stuff. Design noiseless amplifiers for car audio or home theater system. Also, you can also go in to trading (sell audio systems). Still, it all boils down to some determination. kenwood electronic? is there any factory in malaysia??
