I majored in art/ photography and am now a marine mechanic after almost two decades stagnating in TV, a dying industry, like newspapers. TV even now has "backpack reporters" who do their own videography/ editing, which used to be done by a 2nd person. (A third person used to do sound and lug 3/4-inch U-matic tape decks in the 70s.) Microwave live trucks are being replaced with gizmos that grab four or six 4G cell phone data lines. It's a trope but success in TV is measured by the size of your U-haul; you have to start in a market in timbuktu (market #150) then work your way through cities #80 and 40, etc.
It was a pretty stupid degree to get but I ran into it straight out of high school and didn't know any better.
"Picture people" at the mall is hiring. If you're 20-something your friends will know you're a "photographer" (of sorts) and pay you $100 to do their weddings. If you're really cunning you can moonlight for the customers that come into "Picture People" but they'll can you if they catch you.
They pay attention to the venue, caterer, honeymoon, and dress, then cheap out on the DJ, photographer, and tuxedo. And when you're the photographer they'll ask you at the last second to do video, too. You'll shoot a telephoto video of the ceremony from the other end of the church, with the built-in mike on the camera, won't hear the priest, will hear people coughing in the audience.
Cameras are so automated now the technical skill is gone. You have to be REALLY good at people skills, herding 20 family members for the big shots. Pro tip, start with everyone, and dismiss the distant relatives until you're left with the bride & her parents, and same with the groom.
