So I just got a job at one of those photo places in the mall and I can already tell it's not going to be awesome because "We don't mess with the lights and the cameras are pre-configured." I'm really only getting it because I'm in dire need of money but has /p/ had a similar job before? and what were your qualms if any?

i worked at a mall studio called studio one-to-one for two summers and i actually enjoyed it a lot. in terms of photography, it was very cookie-cutter... take a picture exactly like this... now do it like this... turn their head like this... photo session done. but it was really enjoyable meeting and talking to all the people i photographed and my particular studio did give us a lot of creative flexibility with the lighting and camera.

I didn't notice that place until after I got hired at the "PicturePeople" they are two stores down too...looks like one-to-one is better in the sense that they let you manipulate the light.

a "friend" of mine also graduated from Brooks,
She runs a studio her parents bought her (who do you think paid for the extremely expensive Brooks degree), and is currently running it into the ground because her business skills are lacking (And its not a very profitable business to begin with)

Though truthfully I worked out what one could make "ONLY" shooting weddings in this area. One a week at roughly 24 hours of work a week would gross you around $80,000 CAD
Thats above average for a 40 hour a week job around here.
Of course people dont get married in the winter as much here, and that assumes you make close to $1700 a wedding.

Another friend of mine works in construction photography, probably some of the most mind numbing work you can do, He takes hundreds of shots of a house from every angle and uploads them and hyperlinks each picture to a blueprint so the home owners can see where the wiring and studs are etc...

I have a few other friends who do part time photo stuff (As do I) but generally "Photography jobs" don't require a lot of skill about how to take pictures. I prefer keeping it as a profitable hobby, and I work elsewhere.

A friend worked in a mall that had a photo studio shut down. They took all the good stuff but left a few things behind. I scored a few colored backdrops including their motors as well as an enormous black privacy curtain. I measured it to be about 18' x 24'.

They also left their printer in the back and hundreds of frames. I wanted some of the frames but they were claimed by the mall staff first. The huge printer was given to a photo store in the mall in exchange for some stuff.
