    Professional(my opinion): Making more than 75% of your main income at that particular "profession". Hence I am a professional fishing guide, however I am, for now, a semi-professional photographer. I incorporate my photography and videography into my charter business. I am hoping one day to start doing photography more and more as my main line of work.

    @TO4ST No…he used "segue" as a noun. "That's a great segue…". If he'd said "that is how you segue…", it'd be a verb.

    Photography is dying out by the sheer numbers of people entering the field and the amount of post production software to make a bad photo passable.. Regrettably, most of these "photographers: don't train properly and stagnate at a lousy, passable level. Even worse, the customer often doesn't know the difference. Anybody can market themselves into a professional photographer gig, but become a real photographer is a bigger subject.

    @NikkLJs Just like anything in life that depends on how motivated you are. And yes, you do need to be at least pretty good as a photographer. Being kick ass will get you much farther.

    Damn— quite concise for 3 minutes. Good Job.

    I'll add that people should stop using professional as a way of describing an image. Amateur photographers often have way better work than professionals— just as he said "professional" only literally means that money is made full time from being a photographer. People casually use the term so much nowadays to describe good work simply because a lot of professionals do have really good work.

    i like your philosophy, It actually can be translated to any dream job. It's like they say… money doesn't buy happiness. I know you can get what you always wanted with money, but how you own them, is a part of your life, and is part of makes your life worthwhile. Hating your job is never a part of a completely happy life. You can have kids and a wife that loves you, but to hate your job,.. it wouldn't overlap the joy of the wife and kids, but it's not as good as it could be.

    I really enjoy your YouTube Channel. You give great advice. Check out my YouTube Channel Sometime. Maybe we could swap ideas. I plan to post a lot of my photography editing sessions on here.

    I liked this but have a question. it sounded to me like you implied that you really do not need any formal training. can you speak about this. How valuable is the formal training? It is really going to help me? can i really expect to make any serious money at it in the future without some sort of actual degree? Thanks.

    No, he used segue as a verb.
