OK ladies of AT, here's the plan....

I'll keep trying to find a way to break in to the biz and then as soon as I get a big assignment, I'll bring you along!

I'll need someone in charge of making sure the accomodations are satisfactory, someone to check out all the local attractions, someone to make all the dinner reservations...

Actually...

Now you have me thinking this is something I should really look into!

 

[RagingGuardian]

I'd love to stay home and sleep all day but since that doesn't pay well I'd have to say a network administrator for some large company.

Unfortunately it is not as easy as it look.
Most of their photographer's (100s) are freelance...so you have to spend your pocket money for travel & accommodation expenses. Also, you have to have connections to get the magazine to look at your portfolio to see if your theme & style fit their need. If every thing goes well, then you be paid base on the length of your essay, and number of images that they pint according to size, publish rights, etc....

If you are really lucky and have been in the business for 20+ years then you may get a chance to get on their full-time paying staff, all of 3 permanence photographers.

It was my youthful dream to become a travel/documentary photographer, but the reality kicks in (after University due to student loan), and I have to get a real job instead of chasing after an unrealistic dream...And, because my penmanship is poor and I don't have the capital to invest in such a goal

It is great to see that I'm not alone...there are other hobbyiest photographers on this board that have dream similar to mine...My cheesy confession

 

[Spoooon]

I want the job that the guy from Fight Club had. I want to stay at home, and get paid to not tell anyone about the bad stuff that goes on at my workplace.

 

[Bling Bling]

not really a "job," but i'd like to be the husband of a certain someone who means a lot to me.

 

[urbantechie]

Hmm....Computer Tech for a store that Doesn't have so many cheapies and people who make fun of me cause i'm short and i'm a kid.

Me: Sir, let me take that computer for you. (the dude is like 200yrs old!)
Him: Oh no!! This computer probably weighs more than you!

Oh man..my favorite

Me: othertech, make sure you ghost this drive before you FDISK it.
othertech: Yea, I know.
Lady Customer: Whats this???!!! A kid working on my computer, who am I paying $45 an hour to?
othertech: Umm, not just him, its the whole store.
Lady Customer: NO! I am not letting this kid work on this computer. Its a expensive piece of machinery and he doesn't know what he is doing. I want someone who is certified to do it.

Note: Her system was a Pentium 133. *sigh*....this was like a week ago.
