Less competitors... Yes, quite possibly. Do real estate agents have real money to spend on product to make their life easier? Sure. Of course they do, but so do other people. Your point about $4.99 iphone apps, I'm not sure what that has to do with anything...

I also never said I wasn't comfortable working with people like this it's just that I wouldn't if I had a choice and knew what I know now. I do not agree with a lot of their work principles and I appreciate different things than they do.

For me, I'm still young and have the time to experiment in different industries it's not about jumping into the first market that has the least competitors, its about finding something I enjoy doing and am passionate about. I notice that is when I tend to do my best work.

I think finding a job or industry is like dating. You have a relationship with your customers and if they are 2 or 3 times your age and share no common interests, it can make for a not so great relationship.
