I think it is worth it, if i wasn't in the industry, i'd be doing whatever I could to get in it. I dont take this industry for granted. The freedom it allows for can hardly be matched. And once youre in, the room to grow for the talented people is pretty endless. Well you've assessed the current year and it probably wont be too much different in 2 years, i'd say it wont get worse than 10 percent a year. So if it makes sense now, you get in, and worry about that when the time comes. Once youre in and making profits, theres alot more doors you can open to make up for the 10 percent loss/year.
