future jobs for paintball?

[Kevmaster]

good luck. If you love paintball, don't get into business in paintball. 95% of the people in paintball who love(d) it will tell you that...

I'm one of them. (I was manager of a field)

yea from most everyone i've talked to they say if you love the game, dont go into business in paintball.

find a job where ya get lots of money and weekends free, no worries then. you can play every weekend.

Paint almost always sells. Say, if you were in an area with a bunch of BYOP fields, and there is no semi local supply of good paint, buy a pallet of some good stuff, and sell it at competetive prices. I bet that if you could establish a customer base, you could prolly start a little something up. I guess this would only apply if paintball is just getting nto your area...

If you go the engineering route, you'll realize that you can make more money than you'll know what to do with almost anywhere in the industry besides paintball. Paintball is not so much an engineering driven industry as much as it's a hype/advertising driven industry.

As it was stated before, don't get into the business of paintball because you love the sport, but because you see the opportunity for profit and it's something you know you can do.

hmm i dunno what to do now!
Any designers or engineers, how much freetime do you have to play? if any?

You could try going into sales. That doesnt neccessarily(sp?) mean paintball, it oculd mean automotive, computers, etc. I know someone who sales automitive stuff all around North America. He plays every weekend and is opening his own field. So you may want to look into that.

Or just win the lottery...
