Hi dotcom1, here’s a way I used to get information about an industry I wanted to enter. I looked up businesses in that field and then contacted the owners (entrepreneurs of 1- or 2-person companies) and told them I was considering entering that business, but I’d like to find out what it would be like to do it. I said I’d like to interview them over coffee. They all accepted and were very happy to share their experience and advice with me. I made a short script before contacting them by phone. I know this isn’t your situation, but you may be able to modify this process to fit your needs. Good luck.
