Is becoming a documentarist or a photojournalist impossible?

Question

Is it something that should be cultivated first of all as a hobby, and then if the results are good might turn into a freelance job, or is it a full time job? Does it pay the bills? I am thinking about a Master's degree. Thank you.

Answer 1

.Obviously it is possible because there are people who do those jobs.Just like any creative work you do it because you want to and if it finishes up a job and pays the bills that's a bonus.If you can afford to take a Masters and even take your work beyond that it will give you the skills and experience to realise your dream.

Answer 2

The problem as I see it with this idea is that in this day and age of mindless pap like 'Big Brother' and 'I'm a celebrity please remember me', actually intelligent program making or serious photography work would be almost counter-productive.

Answer 3

I think you should be interested into it.
