Why should a wanabe Wedding Photographer become a Unit Trust Consultant?
The same question can be asked from the other side: Why should I become a Unit Trust Consultant when my passion is not selling Unit Trust but Photography?
Myself, and most of my friends from our generation has the same incorrect perspective towards these two things:
You see my friend, there is a common thing between the two, that is they both involve money. Infact, money is also the paradox at the same time, because money is also the differences between the two. Let me explain in simple put.
- Passion is where you should spent your money on.
- Career is where you should earn your money from.
Photography happens to be one of the more expensive hobby on this planet, photographer are glass collector, they love carrying heavy lens and bags, just to freeze something that our eyes can see. They are also better known as an Artist who create beatiful Photos that catches 'wow' when people look at them.
Photography is one of the many popular expressive art around the market. To express the emotion or feeling the photographer wanted to initially, they somtimes need some very expensive lens o do it. And for many amateur photographers, this expensive lens and equipments are at the same time 'obstacles' for the 'artist' photographer to express themselves in FULL POTENTIAL.
After years of struggl to create a balance between the two, I gave up, no... actually I changed. Because 'To Get What You Have Never Had, You Must Do What You Have Never DONE'
So I sort of become smarter in both spending money on my Passion and also earning money from my Career. This is what I do:
- When spending money on my passion, I ask little question about affordablity, there is not such thing as affordable or not in spending money on your REAL passion, only question about how much you love that piece of equipment or device relating to your passion.
- When earning money from my career, I always, and always ask for the career that can earn me MOST money in the SHORTEST time frame and at the same time, LONG LASTING, LEGAl and SIMPLE.
Since changing the concept in handling my Passion and Career. I never have problem in balancing my life around the these two elements - Work and Play. I worked hard at the same time, play hard, too.
And I really think that you should reserch more into this area, my friends. ;-) If you have the same issue that I have 4 years ago. Have a great day!
