Doing a 180

As it stands I'm well on track to becoming something fairly well paid in the field of market analysis at somewhere fairly nice like UBS or Credit Suisse. While to some degree I do enjoy this kind of work, hunting out patterns and predicting market behavior, I'm starting to feel it really isn't me. If i do it I fear in a a year or so I'll be desperate to bail, no matter how good the pay and perks.

To be honest I'm fairly interested in becoming a photojournalist, combining my wanderlust with the fact I'm a good photographer, I'm one of those weird fuckers who likes getting shot at in obscure third world countries so it's kind of perfect for me.

The point of all this though is I'm looking for stores/anecdotes/advice of people who have made dramatic career changes, why and how.

and if anyone knows how you become a reuters photographer that would be nice too
