The profession of photography is shrinking. Once upon a time you would go to school for photography, come out as a photojournalist, working at a paper, shoot and get paid. Then at the end of your career pass on your knowledge to others as a teacher. If you were a commercial photographer you would assist and/or go to school, graduate and work as an assistant, eventually growing your client base so you too could become a full-time pro and eventually taking on full-time assistants as you approached retirement.

Today iPhones/iPads are now good enough to create sellable work.
Dedicated cameras sales are rocky and camera stores are closing.
Dedicated cameras have peaked out with tech.
The mid-range clients are gone leaving only the low-end and high-end markets available.
