OK, I know that this will sound harsh and I appologize ahead of time for that. But it is, none-the-less, the truth.

If you have to ask those questions on a public RC fourm your chances are extremely small. The people who are truly gifted at anything don't ask casual questions like that. They get out and work hard to make the most of their gift, they seek out people who are already successful and learn from them. They eat, sleep, live and breath their chosen path. They already know what it takes to reach their goal.

For goodness sake, don't stop dreaming but be honest with yourself about yourself and your abilities. If after all these posts you still think you can do it then take that confidence and get out and get to work. And Good Luck to you, whatever you try.
