The first thing you do when you start trying to make a living with this 
stuff is to get an "insurance" shot.  That is the shot you take first 
to CYA in case you never get another opportunity.  Then, as Dan writes, 
you keeping trying to get another, and another, and another until you 
get the best one.  Sometimes the insurance shot is the best one.  
Sometimes it is the only one.
