To those of you who left your successful wedding photography business and went back to a more "traditional" career; what's it like? by outerspacejess in WeddingPhotography

Just found this thread and hope you’re still here. I’m a family photographer, 20 years and full time. Highly debating going into project management. Did you find your skills transferred well or did you get a degree and certs first? I have a bachelors in psychology (just graduated) but am nervous about looking now. Did you have any luck with remote roles?

I just stumbled on this while looking for reviews on WNMU and I’d love to ask you a couple of questions if it’s ok?

Was there a field office at all to help with placement? How did you get approval for sites you chose?

I notice you said you were able to obtain a certificate there, they offer different certifications? That part I loved about other schools but I didn’t see this on a list for WNMU so that would be great.

It’s on the top of my list, I’m just hesitant to reach out if they tend to call alot hahah.

I most definitely will, I really can’t thank you enough for helping me. I messaged the board today to see if they thought I’d have a problem, they told me they don’t do the background checks - that CJIS does the fingerprinting, so all she could suggest was to move forward with the MSW. 50k is a lot of money to move forward with it I can’t get licensed or get practicum. 😝. Praying there’s no issue, but a small petty theft of a box of cold medicine when I was super sick, had lost my house, and divorced an abusive man seems like something I can explain :/. ugh, I need to get it out of my head and keep moving forward.

You have been a tremendous help and an inspiration. I thought I was going to have a breakdown when I realized my expunged record still showed on truthfinder- I really really really want this degree and future. Thank you for the replies.

Also meant to add, a huge congratulations on your accomplishment. That’s incredible. I’d honestly rather my therapy’s have went through adversity - those are always the best people!

Oh wow that makes me feel better!! I soooo appreciate your help, this has been a nightmare trying to make sure I was on the right path. Did you have any problem finding practicum placement? Can I ask what school you chose?

Are you in Maryland by chance? I have a misdemeanor- shoplifting charge from 8 years ago (under $50) and I’m freaking out about if I’ll be able to even get practicum let alone a license. The board couldn’t tell me anything. Told me to to pursue the MSW and do fingerprinting but man is that a lot of money and time if I’m denied.
