Hi Adam, I am in much the same position as you, albeit I am a bit older (coming up 39), bored with endless rubbish jobs (I am an unskilled admin temp worker). I would say, though, despite the uncertain economic climate, that
if you are in a position to do then follow your dreams and go for what you want to do. I'm hoping to do just that, after a bit of travelling next year, I'm looking into doing something more wildlife and/or photography related. Life's too short to be bored and fed up.
However, keep your options open, so that if things don't work out, then you will have something more everyday (i.e. mundane) to fall back on to pay for the boring-but-essential things like a roof over your head and the bills!
Good luck to you!

(Graphic design was not all its cracked up to be in my opinion)
Anyway Im thinking of doing a wildlife course and uni but dont know if its worth it or whether I need to. I have a fairly decent portfolio but don't know if I really know enough about photography or whether I'm too old to go doing 3 year courses.
Does anyone know of a course which has worked out for them or any 1 or 2 year courses? .
What is it like going freelance?
I uploaded a couple of photographs on my profile if anyone leaves feedback it would be much appreciated. |
