Pros

  • • Super fun job if you're into photography and editing and want to make money off your hobby
  • • Get to work your own hours - you can do it on the side or as your main job
  • • Great job for sociable people - you get to meet lots of people and experience the most fun, happiest times in people's lives, like weddings and birthdays

Cons

  • • Inconsistent and unreliable hours -it's not a typical weekday job, and you might need to work weekends or evenings
  • • Quite risky - it's not the most reliable source of income, and there are times when you might not know when your next paycheck will come
  • • Mostly work with once-off clients, so you're constantly having to find new clients to keep your business going
