I get would-be techs in my shop who come from trade schools and know jack. Then I get self-taught guys who learned by experience and can troubleshoot and service everything in sight! The thing is, and I hate to burst your bubble, but a trade school sheepskin doesn't automatically make you a hotshot, OR mean that you know what you are doing. Couple THAT with the fact that custom builders have a hard enough time drawing their OWN living wage, and I would have to say that you didn't make a wise choice of where to spend your $10K. There is also an influx of serious-quality guitars (e.g. Eastman) from China that, for many players, can negate the need to spend big $$$ on domestically-built guitars.
You'd probably be better off hanging out a shingle for guitar repairs. THAT is something you can actually make some money at, eventually.
Sorry to be so harsh, but this, and others here, are the voices of experience talking.
