I want to be a photographer or a photojournalist when I graduate. I want to have this job because I like to capture things that some people can not see or what I can see and show them the world through a different perspective. I enjoy finding the small details in things that no one would see.

To be a photographer I would need to have my high school diploma and my bachelor’s degree in photography. I will have to go to school for four years to become a photographer. I will have to pay $37,606 but if I get scholarships I could pay less. My annual wage as a photographer I will be making $42,770. This means my college debts would be able to be paid in a few years.

The art in photography is luxury because we don’t really need pretty pictures. but it can be a necessity for the news to be able to show what’s happening in the world.  However photography is growing but it is also declining, many people have different perspectives on this. Some say that because we have phones with really good quality cameras people don’t hire photographers anymore, but there are also people who say there is still a use for professional photography in magazines and newspapers, especially in the fashion industry. Some jobs like famliy photos have been lost from new technology because we have phones that can do it.  

In order to be a good photographer, you have to keep up with all of the new technology because it changes every day with new phones and new cameras coming out all the time. If I didn’t keep up with new technology, my photos won’t be as good as other photographers. My competition would have better photos so fewer people would want my photos.

If there was a recession it would affect my job poorly because if people don’t have money they aren’t going to buy my pictures. Some aspects of photography might still have work but for the most part, it wouldn’t last due to the lack of demand. My job could and couldn’t be outsourced overseas because if my job is to take pictures at a school in America for the yearbook, someone in China can’t do that because they aren’t here. On the other hand, if I was just someone who took pictures of landscapes, someone in China could easily do that because they can take pictures of landscapes there too.  

To make good money as a photographer, you have to be professional. If you aren’t a higher class, people won’t want to buy your photos because they don’t think you have enough experience. Learning about markets has taught me a lot about the stock market and how incentives work and how people with less money or experience get treated badly. I also learned how to market my photography and advertise art out into the world.    

Economists are saying that climate change will cause the economic crisis to increase drastically over the next few years and it will cause food prices and health care costs to increase. I could suffer a small amount from gas and oil being raised in price because for my job, I will have to be driving to get places in order to take pictures. By the time I start working full time the economy is expected to continue failing which will affect my job, the more people don’t have money, the fewer pictures I will be able to sell because people don’t need a picture to survive.

In Andrews’s early life he started off poor and couldn’t go to school, to help his famliy make money he worked in a boiler room and then later he worked as a messager and he memorized the streets he delivered so he wouldn’t have to figure it out every time.  

Elon’s early life was much different then Andrews’s, he got to go school but well he was in school he got bullied a lot tell he was 15 and then he learned to defend himself. 

Carnegie started in a boiler room then he went to work as a messager and met Thomas A. Scott, who he started working with to build railroads and the sleeping car, after he worked in railroads he kept making investments and working in many different things along the lines of oil and bridges and his steal company which is what made him very successful. 

Elon gained his wealth from his company’s, zip2, PayPal, and tesla motors and SpaceX. When Elon was 17 he moved to Canada to go to Queen’s University so he didn’t have to be in the military, then later he left Canada and went to Pennsylvania to study business and physics to get his degree. Elon made his first company with his brother zip2 which he later sold and became a multimillionaire when he was in his 20s, he kept working hard and became very successful with all of his company’s and he still is. 
Carnegie always wanted to give back to society so he would always give to charity, he would fund library’s across the world and give to the poor, he had donated at least 350 million dollars because he was once someone who had nothing and he didn’t want people to live as he had to so he gave them money, he believed in the gospel of wealth where people who are wealthy should give their money away. 

Elon musk donates to projects in order to make a better and improved education, his recent donation was 15 million for a project for people to get an education they need and education. 

Carnegie had a very positive legacy even though he made some mistakes, he tried to help people as much as he could and give back as much as he could because he thought that rich people should give to the poor. 

Elon’s legacy has given us new technology and he gives back so people can learn and have a good education. Elon musk and Andrew Carnegie are not that different the only thing that is different is Elon grew up a little wealthier then Carnegie but their legacy had a very positive impacted on everyone and as brought a lot.

How do markets impact my life?

My dad works at Costco and my mom is an artist which gives us income to buy food and clothes and sometimes go out and do fun things, to get my education we have to pay so I can learn which is a lot of money but it’s so I can get a good education and get into a good college and have my dream job, well I’m at school i don’t get to see my famliy and when I get home half of them are at work so they can support there family’s. The college I want to go to is very expensive but I can get a scholarship so I can be a photographer after college and make a lot of money and support myself. Incentives have an impact on me too like my dad getting a raise at work or my mom getting more people to want her artwork which helps us pay the bills. If things are too expensive we won’t buy it because we can just get the cheaper version that does the same thing for a better price it might not be good quality but it still does what it’s supposed to do.
