The Right Career

Having the right career is very important and can be a very hard decision to make. Many students struggle in making the right decision when choosing a good fitting career. When I was thinking about a career that I would want to pursue, I wanted to make sure I chose a career that I thought was interesting and I would like to do. Two careers that I have been thinking about pursuing are film directing or photography. I think these two careers would be the best fit for me because they are two careers that interest me and I think would be fun to do.

To begin with, film directing is a very different career when being compared to what most people think of when deciding what career to pursue. Film directing is part of the movie industry, which can

Photography can be a difficult field to be successful in because potential clients want to see work that they like and would also want. Although success shouldn’t determine whether or not to pick the job, I think it is important to think about the kind of lifestyle that comes along with each job.

That being said earning money as a photographer means getting clients to take pictures for or take pictures of. An advantage of being a photographer is working at home or in a studio. Although, a photographer will also travel to where their clients are located. Although, a disadvantage of this is when you arrive to the location, the plans that you had could be completely changed. One photographer said, “I’ve scouted some jobs, done test prints, and arrived for the final shoot to discover that props and lighting were completely different from those agreed upon. Having tact and patience is helpful” (“Career”). I don’t think I would have a problem with this because I am a very patient person. Also, I have seen that some photographers will travel to take their pictures which is something that I mentioned earlier as one of
