It's true - Most pros will tell you that they spend something like 75-80% of their time marketing and dealing with business issues. THESE are the people that make money and Greg is BANG ON, they may well be average photographers.

Thanks!
I've pondered this with my husband and we both agree that as I acquire my toys..if I need to take a course or two to learn I will.
We will soon be opening a business and it's just not the right choice right now..unless we really want to protray the "starving artist"!!!
For now..concentrate on a portfolio..and go from there!
Yeah there are a lot of photographer who never attend photography school. If it is about making money course on marketing and business would be better. There is a LOT of information on line.
Have you thought about Kelby Training. only $24.00 a month. The amount of information there is incredible.
Best of luck to you.
I've been thinking on this Kat and realized my first response was based on my own experience-you need a specific degree to do my job. But not so much for photography. The marketing idea is a good one. Also, look into the option of auditing courses. It's usually cheaper. YOu don't get a credit but you will get the info!
