Study up. Ask lots of questions - people like to talk about their hobbies.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Above all, learn to grade. One should drop big $$$ only when convinced of two things :</p><ul> <li>you know what you&#039;re doing</li> <li>you truly enjoy your endeavor</li> </ul><p>It takes experience and knowledge, and that takes time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
