I'd have to agree with Tim. If you stay committed, you will eventually find the right opportunity. Determination is crucial because there will always be a struggle to do what you love. Also try as many different things as possible. The more you try, the more you will be able to understand where you want to go. Always a tough choice. I’d have to agree with Tim.

I managed to combibne the best of both worlds; a job I love and find challenging, stimulating and useful, and photography on the side. But it took me 15 years of hunting and trial and error and crap jobs to pull it off. Sometimes we can't make the perfect decision straight of - but we need to make one we know we can live with, at least until we can change it. Good luck; I hope you get plenty of offers to choose from. Eh, it’s a hard choice, isn’t it.

I recently chose to take a corporate web design job again, temporarily, instead of taking a photography job that I knew wasn't for me. I don't mind doing what I have to do to stay afloat during down times and will do whatever it takes to pay the bills but... not with my photography. Very careful not to do anything that will taint what I love. So for now... My photo business is nights and weekends but only for now.
