Okay, yes, my inner cynic says that for-profit art schools churn out more “professional photographers” in a year than such jobs exist in the whole country, and that million-view videos online generally pay their creators just a couple of grand at best.

Ah, the “top shelf at Keeble & Shuchat”! I have memories of that place going back 40 years. My dad is John Clifton (a retired manager there), and I grew up at that store, restocking shelves, working the price gun, and recycling cardboard. Funny to find it mentioned here.
