[QUOTE="mastershake575, post: 8716908, member: 665251"] Absolutely been down that boat for sure. The original thrill and excitement of something new is a strong feeling but once you get the point of high level (in your case your sound system and knowledge of car audio is something less than 1% of people possess) then the thrill kinda dies down, especially if your not actively doing it for a living. I've had it happen with 2 hobbies. Martial arts I wrestled club, did BJJ for 7 years, and competed in 4 sanctioned MMA fights. It eventually got the to the point to where it wasn't really that fun anymore, I got to the point to where I had reached a level that maybe 1 out of every 1000 people who enter a gym reached and almost everyone with higher knowledge/skilled did it for a living which I never wanted (I wasn't planning on going down the teaching path or running a gym). Same with computers. I use to post non-stop on help forums (over 40k post) and contributed to build/overclocking guides on popular websites (techpowerup, gamespot, guru3d). Like martial arts I got to the point to where I had a top 1% knowledge of diagnosis, building, overclocking, windows.......ect so there really wasn't much left for me to do unless I wanted to specilize in something very specific like manufacturing, programming, cybersecurity, client support manager Even for my career I had to make some tweeks. Went to massage school and got to the point to where I had done pretty much everything (worked corporate, franchise, medical, and highend Spa, got certified and experienced in literally every modality). Ended up going back to trade school for esthetics (facials) and now i'm trying to master that skillset while still performing massages in the same studio. [/QUOTE]
