Advantages and Disadvantages of being a Photographer(continued)

Disadvantages
Many bosses instead on onesure it takes a lot of effort and you really have to be a screw-up to get fired from several bosses at one time. But on the other hand, don’t forget that you had to find all those bosses in the first place. Think of how hard it was to find your current job. To build a client base, you have to find new jobs / clients / bosses all the time. You are going to loose clients. No client will be yours for life. Sooner or later, something will happen and you’ll loose every client. Maybe the guy will move or loose his job, or maybe he’ll be promoted to a new position that doesn’t hire photographers. As a self-employed photographer, you’re always looking for new clients to build your business or at least replace the clients you loose to normal attrition. If you aren’t constantly on the lookout for (marketing) you’ll soon find yourself looking for one boss instead of many.
