Audio engineering and Pro Tools

Got a question for anyone with any knowledge of this. I am thinking about going to take some classes on this and was wondering if anyone here is in this sort of business? Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I use Reason rewired into Live. Don't know much about pro tools. What type of music are you interested in producing?

I grew up listening to mainstream rock stuff and a little bit of country. one of those two would be ideal, but being around music in general is what makes me happy in life 
have you ever used audacity for any type editing? I realize it isn't anywhere near Pro Tools but I would imagine the principle for all these software programs are the same.

I've used audacity to cut samples but I use Abelton for that now. Can't do much with audacity
Most DAWS right now all pretty much do the same thing. You just have to find which programs come easy to you and stick with program.

yeah i figured that out pretty quickly. do you work in a studio or anything? did you go to school or anything for it?

Just my home studio (macbook pro, keyboard, mpd24 and studio monitors) very very basic. Nothing professional about it. I used to sell hip-hop beats in college for a little extra cash.
My suggestion, unless you are planning on being an engineer, is buy/pirate the program you want and start playing around with it. There are many tutorials online plus many how-to books out there. No need on wasting thousands of dollars unless you want to be a professional.

yeah that's what I have heard but honestly its something I would like to make a career of. Some of the programs I have researched though are incredibly expensive and that is a huge draw back.

If I was just getting started I would start with Abelton Live IMO
edit: whats awesome about all these new DAWs is they pretty much replace the big studio. No need for giant mixers anymore really
