Not so sure.

I say I like to write & to take pictures, but is this all just a hobby or something I should go after? I see everyone else's stuff, their pictures, their writing. It just seems like everyone else is alot more skilled then me. Going to school for photography has always been the one thing I wanted to go to school for, but should I even bother? My pictures aren't good at all and photography isn't a solid job, you go places by how good you are. Maybe I just need practice? It just feels like what I want to do in my future isn't going to get me anywhere and I'll be broke and have nothing. I have no back up plan..I don't know.

Photography isn't so much a job where you go places strickly on how good you are. Most people go places when they get a big break. You could be one of the most amazing people in your field, and go your whole life without getting your big break.

Personally, if you truly want to go into photography, there is infact a good field for it. If you want to travel, that's even better. I know there are a ton of places around this world that are stunningly beautiful and all you need is to catch the eye of one very important person, and you can get into the industry.

Until then, I don't think anyone truly knows what they want to do. This show sort of proves that people have somewhat of a general idea, but still no clue where to start. I personally have like I said, a somewhat general idea. My idea would be graphics design and such, but like you... my future career is a "big break" career. So we both just need to wait and see how it goes. Go to collage and see where we end up. A medicore job until then will work just fine though.
