life?

I’ve been doing some soul-searching about the line of work I’m studying for, and to be honest some of the aspects of it scare me. A lot of photojournalists are hardly ever home, the pay sucks, it’s a highly competitive field to try and get a full-time job in, and there’ll likely be quite a few occasions where I’ll have to put myself in some form of danger to get the shot. I don’t like most of that at all, but I love everything else about it, dearly. I know the first few years are likely going to be rough, but I guess I just have to stick it out and hope.

I think the thing I would hate most is being away from home so much. What if I find the person I want to settle with? What then? Oops, I didn’t mean to add more questions. But that’d be on my mind. That’s why I’m going with the English degree so I can sit at home, raise the kids, and write. Ah yes. Then I will teach. It’ll be sweet. Maybe.

Well, I got three years of full-time work out of being a photojournalist. And it led me to becoming a filmmaker.

But yes, I basically haven’t been home in 12 years. That part is hard.
