26 years old photography

I think it's a little late for you to be a photography assistant at your age. It depends on your own problems. Are you married? What are the family conditions like? Now the assistant's salary is only about 1000, which may only be enough for living expenses. If you want to bring home the bacon, forget it. It's ok if the family conditions are good. If you want to be a photographer for more than a year and a half, the salary of a photographer who just started out is basically around 3000. The technology is better at 6000- 10000, and the technology is better at 20,000-30,000.
