There's money still out here if you're smart and know what you're doing. There's even more money available if you have the funds to invest (but you also need some knowledge so you don't lose your shirt). However, at the lower rungs of the industry it's almost surely a losing proposition to make an entry into the industry unless you're some freak exception with a killer idea or advantage no one else has.

I know the above sounds pessimistic considering I still make a 1000% profit for every dollar I invest in the business (as do many others I'm sure) but again you need knowledge and experience to do that.
