I'd like to report that it's a "dream job", but that isn't the case. For me it's been more like a glorified hobby that I can't get paid for.

Last week a newspaper and a casino came to me for some shots I've taken. This paper has a circulation of 600k, and the casino is f'n huge. The paper didn't want to part with $75, and the casino apparently thought $250 for photos of a televised event was out of line. Also, a promoter I had a verbal agreement with decided he didn't want to purchase the pics I took of his event.

I wouldn't mind if I were making something, say a few sales from the events, but no, I'm usually losing money. If something doesn't turn around for me soon, I'm going to have to give the camera a rest.
