The hardest part of photography has always been selling the work. Today with digital it's harder.

My brother when he retired was offered courses to go on by his ex employer to get an outside interest. He chose photography and got a degree, he enjoyed it so much he's now going for a masters degree. He has never sold a picture.

I have never had a days training, other that watching other professionals work, and made a few dollars from it over the years.

Decide if you're going to do it as a hobby or too make money because they're entirely different routes now.
