Loudly seconding Andrew's suggestion... Take some econ and/or business
classes. Accounting 101 may be dreadfully dull, but at least you'll be able
to tell if you're making money when you're done.

I'm a retired Accountant, wandering around in clay now, and I'm amazed at
the folks who think they're 'having a good show' when they've just only made
back their booth fee.
