we went digital in 2001, so we all learned about Photoshop, storing and jerking a round with digital files etc. in about 2002-2003 we were starting to get asked about video, so we learned to shoot and edit video.
these new content guys don't really seem to know shit about anything. they hire people to do everything it seems. what a fucking hoot.
so anyway have fun... you have no idea the ride you're in for as a content shooter, and no fucking idea how much aggravation you're in for. the models are crazy as hell, the pimps are mean and dishonest. but really gets me, what really drains my energy is solving tech problems all day long. it's always something.

Quoted for truth!
I still do almost everything myself after nearly nine years in the biz, although I now hire other photographers and video shooters, as well as production assistants for content shoots.
I'm planning to hire another person to help with post-production, since I will have new sites coming out in the near future, and want to be able to have some semblence of a social life.
Cozy Academy is a good starting point, as are YnotMasters, Xbiz, and other sites that have tutorials, tips, and helpful columns.
Good luck on your journey...
