Photography, Fashion, Make-up? I can’t decide. =[?

Katie asked the question:

Like most people, I’ve been through a lot of “phases” with what I think I’d like to do as a career, but photography has always been something I love… I went through quite a few disposable cameras as a kid, haha. However, I also think doing make-up and designing clothing would be amazing… The fashion industry is really harsh, though, so I don’t know if I’d want to be a designer, but fashion photography sounds fun… Then again, there are a LOT of photographers as well… It’s an expensive thing to do if you don’t know where you’re going [equipment, travelling, and education], and I have no idea what I’d do after I spent all of that money… I have a couple of years to go before college, but high schools pressure you to know what you want…I looked in to colleges, and I’m not sure which is best. My mom says The Art institute and such are over-advertised all over tv and overpriced…I was hoping someone could voice their opinion…Thanks for your time, and for reading my rant… >_<

What is the best Photography Career route to immigrate to Canada or the US?

I_love_lamp asked the question:


I’m trying to figure out what area of study to focus on, that will enable me to immigrate to Canada or the US.
My passion lays with photography, which isn’t exactly a career known for it’s immigration prospects. But I want to move abroad so I will bend my career focus around this goal.

What would be a good area to focus my photography studies on. I was thinking perhaps medical photography… as it’s related to health care and medicine which has good immigration prospects. Can anyone recommend this, or suggest another area of related study?
