Well the ternary sector i.e services is certainly taking it on the chin in this downturn.

Primary (food and energy) and Secondary (industrial and tangible assets production) are faring better, or the services sector that cater to them (i.e engineering/software/mathematics), which are a tiny minority of the ternary.

If I mention Primary, Secondary and Ternary it is simply because the Ternary wouldn't be able to exist without the secondary, and the secondary without the primary.

I guess time to photography models doing instructional videos for 90 tons trucks maintenance, the ones used in tar sands ore hauling

But TangibleAssetsProduction Mayhem just doesn't have the same ring to it.

2 million a year.

But she manages to still be broke

So the real reason why it's a bad career path?

lol, though she makes $2 mil a year... sounds more like poor financial management, but would rather blame it on consumers...

PS: photography as a career, seems like you'd be paid by the job, not by the sale of the images after the fact, unless of course maybe you're an art photographer (Which by god is going to be even harder in my opinion).

The article doesn't mention anything about the actual financial conundrum she found herself in.

She does make all that money, but she went into real estate speculation, I think that the building was in Greenwich Village in Manhattan (or somewhere around there) where a $20 Million (or so) went south and she owed in taxes as well.

That's why she tried to sell here catalog for $25 Million to cover the bills but couldn't.
