| Persistance Willing to pay the dues (shit pay / bad hours / gopher & cleaning work + working on music I didnt like much) It helps if you can count on parental & friends support (monetary, yes & positve vibes too) Networking creating your own luck Socialising in a music environment (if it is music engineering you wish to do) "toot your own horn, no one else is going to do it for you" (sage advice from an engineer mentor of mine) Going the extra mile.....& not using the phrase "so how much money are we talking about?" when you do it. Remembering your'e in a service industry - so SERVE! Toss in the old "talent hand grenade" - do some great work for free or cheap to show what you can do - then charge more later for further work. Threaten to strike if your terms are not met - and be prepaired to get fired / not used for the job (scary)

| I feel the most important one Jules said was networking. There are so many genious engineers out there that have not gotten the big break simply because they weren't connected. |
