As I have experienced No. Modelling can be taken as a hobby as I did. However, to continue with & taking it as a carrer would be a hard decision of life..

I dont think you can do it your whole life, maybe 10-15 yrs but when you get old, alot of agencies dont want you.

I totally agree with you... as Modelling cannot be taken as for whole life.. Once you get older lot of agencies won't take you as your face looks old, you are not that popular now & more models have entered in new market

True, you're always set up against the younger faces.

Yes it can be a career depending on how talented and determined you are. Even old people can be models because there are lots of products that is targeted towards middle-aged and older people like vitamins, hair care products..

Yes. It is fast growing industry and there are lots of openings. But I doubt as a model one cannot stay in this field for entire life? They go by slogan CATCH THEM YOUNG" and you should earn life time money before they say quit.

I wouldn't take it as a career in a sense but would take it as a chance to get into other areas where you can work even after you have reached the age limit for a modelling career ..

No,you can't take it as life time carrer because modelling life confined to some years only ,that to it all depends on success rate of new products,no thundering new comers entrance with huge success ,god fathers support etc. will decide longivity of carrer.Apart from modelling you have to have your regular income source also must to settle in the life.

Modelling is a fickle business. I wouldn’t build my entire life around it unless I was seriously determined to hit the big time, which even then having a ‘back up’ plan with something you can always fall back to is never a bad idea.
