Masters in Photography, but now what?

[Lily Rose]

Hi,
I have a degree and masters in fine art photography. I graduated in 2006 and since then have been travelling and jumped from rubbish admin job to rubbish admin job.
Become a photographer I hear you cry? In all honesty I don't feel passionate about it and feel like a bit of a fraud, as i'm pretty sure there are a million 'amateur' photographers who graft away and love it. Maybe studying did it, I'm not sure.

Anyway, basically I want a career/ I want to go to work every morning/evening/whenever feeling like i'm making a difference.

I want to help people. But I just don't know how. I've always liked biology, art and have good interaction skills. Academically, I have always achieved high grades. I like problem solving and have a strong stomach.

Whether this all goes together i'm unsure. If anyone has any advice / criticism's/ bottled passion, feel free to jot me down an answer.
I thank you in advance.
Lily

Why don't you do photography, but also have it be in a field you like? For instance, you like helping others. What about news photography or travel journalism. You can make the world aware of many things by being a writer/photographer. You could also get a normal day-to-day job editing photos or working with photo programs. I don't know you, so it's hard to say. What do YOU really want to do? Do you want to incorporate photography with this? If not, try a humanitarian sort of career?
