Advantages and Disadvantages of being a Photographer

Advantages
Many bosses instead of just one
Think of it. If you somehow tick-off your one and only boss and he hates your guts, he can make your life miserable and possibly ruin you financially. If you have many bosses, it would take several firing you at one time to devastate your income. And even if you don’t care for one or two of your bosses (clients), you only have to put up with their crap occasionally. All those other times you’ll be with other clients (bosses), ones that you’ll probably even like or admire. It’s much easier putting up with people you don’t care for, if you know its only going to be for a short time. And if the client is really a jerk, you can just say, “I’m busy” when he calls. I tent to do this very seldom. I prefer to take their money. Can you think of anything better to do to someone you don’t like, other than take their money? Or maybe I’m just a little greedy. Ya, that’s probably it. :+)
You make your own hoursIn theory anyway, you’re always free to take off work whenever you like. Have a soccer tournament you want to attend? No problem. You don’t have to ask permission from your boss, you don’t have to worry about getting on some office lost or schedule. You’re your own man (or woman). Free to come and go as you wish. Quite a sense of freedom, really…
