I may the opportunity (ie, time) soon to contemplate a career change in one way or another. Like many of you, I am a hobbyist 98% of the time but spend ~2% as a seller to help fund my PC interests.
But if I wanted to dive more fully into the hobby as a career change/move, where do you all see the best and most interesting opportunities? Major auction houses? TPGs? Larger/national dealers?
I hope this is a topic of interest to others - I don’t mean to make this about me only! It’s more a question of where could our passion for the hobby intersect with possible career opportunities? I’m not a kid 😢 even though I thoroughly enjoy this kid hobby! I wonder if there are more advanced opportunities for people of my “vintage” and considerable business experience
Thanks all - I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas!

Becoming a small business selling cards is becoming a more level playing field thanks to the hopefully enforced $600 rule.
It really depends on how much money one needs to make and how they plan on paying for health insurance.
If you have health ins through a spouse opening your own business is WAY easier. It also helps to not be in debt so you have time to learn your new business because the early few years are the hardest in my experience.
If you need the regular paycheck and health ins then it would be time to see what each different area pays their employees.
