What job supports your UW photography habit?

[arenny]

U/W photography is an expensive hobby. I wonder what you amateur photographers out there do for a living to support such and expensive habit (it is sooo addicting!).

I will start... I am a civil engineer for a local govt agency. I live in Monterey so even though the pay is good, the cost of living is extremely high. The advantage is diving is a step away. Traveling is limited because of the high cost of living. I go to Brazil once a year to see family and will be able to go to Hawaii this summer (because of a conference).

I searched and couldn't find a previous post on this, so sorry if I am replicating something!

Investment manager with one of Canada's big banks. Decent pay, enough to fund a few toys including a rebreather. Diving is generally withing 2-3 hours in the great lakes. Some amazing wreck diving...

Barback at a night club... I get tipped out by the bartenders so I can afford a few toys too; however finishing school is what will take up my time for the next six years or so.
