What kind of careers can I have with photography?
Basically things like photography, art, graphic design … communication systems … you get the idea
If you are really good, you can make a LOT of money selling your images as Royalty-free or Rights-managed stock photography. Some sites to look at and apply to:
ImageEnvision.com
Corbis.com
GettyImages.com
Istockphoto.com
Shutterstock.com
The last two are considered micro stock photo sites where images are sold for really cheap (or by subscription) but many artists make a LOT because their images sell over and over and over…
Many artists and photographers are able to make a great living off of selling their work as stock. The images are used by publishers, designers, etc. Plus pretty much any travelling you do, meals paid for, shopping, etc can be used as a write off as long as you find a way to make it into work (such as by taking a picture).
Otherwise, graphic design and freelance photography would be good too.

I like the ideas you’ve already mentioned to be honest! Hold your head up and run for what you’re interested in. It’s great when you actually love what you do for a living! Good luck!

fashion photography pays a lot, but you have to live in a major city to get started, (NY or LA). portraits at the mall and working at camera shops will not pay great but will always give you preference if you have a degree in photo or a nice portfolio. There is freelance journalism work which can be rough, unfair, and insecure till you get picked up or become famous. There is art photography, but anyone has the same chance of living off their art as a musician becoming a rockstar. There is also opening your own photo studio or shop, but youshould go into buisness for that.
