McDonalds or Photography, which pays more?

Posted on 24 February 2009 by Terry

So you want to be a photographer? With all the glitz and glamour, equipment purchases of $5-10K and likely a few years of schooling, you’ll still be ahead working at McDonalds while you try to build your business on the side.  

At least you get discounted meals while smelling like a french fry all day.

Despite the dismal wages, the real benefit of being a photographer is that you are not stuck in an office or restaurant  all day, can be creative and build your reputation and stock images to eventually make much more than a McDonalds employee.
