[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2382687, member: 4373"]I think the solution is to network professionals in the field. Rather than discouraging the poster - I think what is important is to know that you really need to have the burning passion and knowledge as well as a basic understanding of business. Numismatics is somewhat a niche market. Don't get me wrong - there are millions of dollars involved but unlike larger markets such as automobiles, agriculture etc, this is still small. Best advice is to keep sharpening your skills in numismatics, write articles if you have the burning passion and when the opportunity arrive, you can at least document and demonstrate what you have accomplished. There is nothing wrong being a small time coin dealer on ebay or at flea markets - this will still let you appreciate the business aspect of numismatics. Whatever you do - be the expert in it and this is how you land a job as people value your expertise.[/QUOTE]
