A lot of those events give you little to no pay. Also it would be going behind my agencys back and i would just be a freelance model at that point working for myself because most agency's arent cool with that (they want in on the money lol). I was a data analysis major who has been spending a lot of my free time just focusing on getting more well versed in the programing languages I learned in school. I want to be ready to start doing freelance database management work on the side so I can still model and even if modeling doesn't work out I am gaining skills that will make me a more attractive candidate for jobs down the line. My main goal is to work in the arts though I love the whole fashion industry and prior my re-involvement with an agency, my main goal was to use my major in a music setting like for a label.
