After 4 years of working my way up from sweeper to assistant to occasional shooter in a commercial studio; I went into photo journalism. And when I told the process camera guy that his halftones of my images sucked and made suggestions for improvement; he said, "well why don't you just do 'em yourself then." So I did - until I could no longer afford the hour to dollar ratio. Them were the days as far as controlling ones image from shoot to press. And it was great, joyful work - but the new wife and daughter didn't see it that way. Never home and ridiculous pay.
