Yes, they do. People do corporate photos there. But okay, fair, I get what you mean. There's a world of difference in being able to show up at a place and shoot a bullseye from a hundred meters, as opposed to showing up and saying you shoot pictures without a portfolio. Ever done the journalism angle? Could get into photo-blogging/Insta-whatever.
idk, I've never been all that great with the whole life skills counselor thing.
