XboxBoy,

Would you mind giving an email to contact you regarding music education/career?

Thanks,

Yeah, I did the international travel thing to Brazil. I enjoyed it at first….

Money isn’t the only thing… it’s more like I have too many careers I would like to pursue and too little time to live!

Being a lawyer is one of them.

I also really want to be a part of a (some) startup(s) at some point in my career. If I do pursue a law degree I think I would fit well as general counsel. Right now I would only fit as the sales guy; an opportunity that I have turned down repeatedly. I just don’t have the desire to be the sales guy for my entire career. I also have some relationships with the investment capital/angel investment communities and the atmosphere.

Thanks for the advice!

I currently have an import/export business working with business in both the U.S. and Asia.

Beyond what Bugs said about working international business, a few more things to keep in mind.

1. Cultural differences between Asians and Americans can be a big deal. We are not talking about stupid social faux pas. We are talking about differences in business ethics, values, approaches and incentives.

2. Work hours. Basically, I work in the day and in the evening. I work Friday nights (since a lot of Asian business work their Sat.) and Sunday nights (Asian’s monday morning). I work during U.S. holidays (because they don’t have the same holiday). I also work during Asian holidays (because business in U.S. doesn’t close on Asian holidays.)

Just something else to keep in mind.
