The second career I chose that I thought could be interesting was a concert photographer. This job, if you aren't free lancing, requires some sort of experience in photography. This could mean, if you want to be a tour photographer, that you need a degree in photography and a portfolio to present to the management of the musician you want to work for. For you to be a "good" concert photographer, you have to be able to capture high energy compositions and create that sense of motion that most musicians are looking for, because these photos could possibly be used as the face of this musician's career for the rest of their life. Yale and the University of Arizona provide some of the best photography programs in the country.
I was most interested in this because it provides great opportunity for travel if you work for a band or musician that has a wide reach. I've also always really enjoyed photography, but I don't think I will ever actually consider pursuing this.
