It's not one of these professions where you get a DSLR and two months later want to start making money. You have to know your equipment inside and out, what the various S-stops and shutter speeds can do for you.

Takes years of training and experience to become successful in this business.

I'm not in any way thinking of trying to make money right now. I was just curious of how hard it actually is to make money.
