Honestly, I think every profession is a little like that. I went to grad school to be a school counselor but there is only so much you can learn in classes and internships. I have learned more since getting my counseling job through hands on experience than I would've ever learned in a class. I'm would think that lawyers, teachers, and other professionals are the same way. Now having said that, I definitely shouldn't have been charging and taking clients when I first started photography years ago. I was one of "those" and am embarrassed by my early work. I have come quite a ways though and have come to realize that the more I learn, the more I realize how little I truly know. I honestly don't think photographers realize how bad they are until they improve and know better. I don't think the industry is ruined because of the photographers that are trying to learn; I think the real issue are the photographers that produce crap work and think that it's AMAZING and never try to get better. Thanks for your help! =)
