The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue photographer, probably pays well enough to only have to do that one job a year too!

I doubt it, the real money is in advertising not editorial, some magazines don't even pay a day rate but expect you to shoot for costs only. The better mags will pay roughly 20-50% of an advertising photographers day rate.

Architect. Every time I watch Grand Designs, I wish I had studied it.

These people have studied? 😯

It's not about the money, it's about the job satisfaction!

Project - aaaaaah, the great Vulcan Foundry. Fantastic video. It made me smile as I came in at the end of real engineering here and the idea of a works manager who had actually done any of the jobs and had experience like that was laughable - usually they were not that much older than me , were well-versed in management-speak and "managed" by creating a climate of fear and overseeing closure. It must have been great then, rather than the "experience counts for nothing" mantra now.

Anyway, enough of that. Retraining - with the benefit of hindsight I would do something practical and useful that is destined to last, eg plumbing, electrical engineering etc rather than having gone into financial services which is yet another dead-end I seem to have found. Oh well.
