Are all these saturated businesses?

Question

Maybe I'm just naive and live in spoiled southern California, but is it just true from my personal observation that these business are too saturated, not profitable for beginners and don't need more competition?

1. Publishing (books, flyers, magazines)
2. record labels
3. Button making
4. t-shirt printing
5. webstores & startups that never get pass the local community
6. Restaurants
7. Retail office supplies, computers
8. Computer repair
9. Interior design
10. web design

If so, what are some other businesses that are too many out there and would not need more? If not, what are places that'll welcome these businesses in demand?

Answer 1

Yes, most are saturated--however not all NICHE markets in each of them have been touched.

It's entirely possible to do well with narrowing down your niche market and specifically focus on certain items.

Button making died the death years ago, but t-shirts can be hot, especially if they're cutting edge or especially relevant, AND the doggie t-shirts have just started a sudden rise, thanks to Paris H. and others. Doggie boutiques in CA are looking for new, cute, edgy things (two current trade magazines have had new articles on just this product, saying it's only starting the sudden rise, looks to be a good 3 year market).

Answer 2

you should try to get one of these to even return a call let alone show up !!
plumber, electrician, remodeler.

many unions will hire you as an apprentice and train you.

pipefitters that weld the tough stuff like stainless steel in refineries and powerplants get paid LARGE amounts of money. in the next tne years they will start building nuclear plants again and the jobs for experienced QUALITY pipefitters and welders and x-ray weld inspectors will be high.

exotic travel too.
