One pitfall I noticed as my modeling career developed,,,
The fundamentals necessary to being a Quiet Professional directly counter those that are required to market, circulate, and establish a "name" in modeling. You may have to take a serious look at what it is you truly want to be be. If you think a Green Beret leads to glamor, think again.
One may argue that there are Green Berets that could model, one would never argue that there are models that could "Green Beret".
Of course, I never had the benefit of SEAL training, where I sometimes wonder if they don't offer a class in both.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
