when I grow up?
It's a difficult question. I have done so many jobs in my life. Most of them were just jobs. I didn't particularly hate them; nor did I particularly love them. They were jobs. Places to pause, but not places to stay.
So the question remains: what do I want to be when I grow up?
I want to write. And take photos. So, what's that called besides writer/photographer? I want to do something creative. But I need to help pay the mortgages. plural. You'd think that being "good" at those things might be enough to get you "in the door" but I'm here to tell you, it isn't. If you do portrait photography, it can be. Your income can grow by word of mouth. But if you do landscape, nature, news photography, you need credentials. Where would I find those?
It's the old catch-22: you need experience to get the job, but you need the job to get the experience. I promise, if I ever "make it," I will try to help out someone else. I'll pay it forward.

Browsing Craigslist
Did you ever browse through Craigslist.org?
Interesting stuff there.... I'm browsing for a job, personally. Writing and/or photography, preferably. Something creative to help pay the 2 mortgages.
Yep. Interesting jobs: Concert Photographer- sounds very cool, but I'm way too old for this one. Makeup artist- someone to "turn an african american into a caucasian and make it look realistic" (that's a quote). Soft porn- they'd like a body shot, face shot not required. Magazine seeks thick eye candy..... people, you can't make these things up....
Interesting other stuff, too.... like, there's a surrogacy agency seeking women. On Craigslist.
Info Architect. What the heck is an info architect???
Here's one I could so do! Household manager for a prominent NYC family. They need someone to run their household and oversee their staff in their 6 story city home as well as their Hamptons weekend home. I don't know.... they're only paying $100k.
Seriously. Browsing through Craigslist is an education in itself. Who knew some of these jobs even existed?
