My life's worse than this at the moment

Annnnnnd, they get paid for the job, instead of having to "monetize"

Yeah, that is one job I would not want, and if you are a wedding photographer, you better hope nothing goes wrong...

No second chances with this type of work.

Considering I do both that's pretty damn accurate

That 28.8% of Photo-editing and other computer tasks could also be titled "I don't know how to make actions"

Social media, blogging, networking is really "14% of my time is me being a self important cock annoying people when I could be taking better/more pictures"

Wedding guys do work pretty hard, but no one works as hard taking photos as a busy porn guy. Hell, we burn out flash tubes in the time some people burn out the modelling lamps.

The great thing for content shooters is that the deliverable doesn't involve lab time, layout or any physical prints/albums. I presume most guys do shoot>edit>process>FTP? To either clients direct or a content store site?

But the general point is extremely valid. Much less time is spent shooting than anyone would imagine looking in from the outside.
