You\u2019ve chosen one of the most challenging and highly competitive careers in the marketplace today. Are you crazy? Ah, that\u2019s ok if you are because it is also supremely rewarding if you find your own success with it (I wrote an old blog post on my personal take on life as a workoholic photographer).

In the end, the odds are against you, but if you are willing to work, plan, be strategic, and be true to yourself creatively\u2026you may have a fighting chance to really make it!
