Career paths instead of/after university Running a photography business (financial and marketing) also doing the photograph and editing and printing as well and depending on how successful it may become hiring other staff to do certain jobs and potentially growing the business into a relatively big company doing all different types for photography going from weddings to concerts and gigs Working for an already established photographic company and doing what ever role you applied for and got. Working for news agencies big and small Free lance photography for different magazines news outlets can be good for experience and can also be good financial incomes sometimes if you get the right photo but its not the most stable of careers because you wont always get the right picture that earns a good amount of money Having a good portfolio is good for applying for any of these jobs because companies want to see that you are actually capable of what you are saying that you do and proving it
