There has not enough datas for photographer in PEI, but there are 14 jobs advertised in Canada.

According to the government of Canada website: "For Photographers, over the period 2022-2031, new job openings (arising from expansion demand and replacement demand) are expected to total 6,800 , while 5,700 new job seekers are expected to be available to fill them." I think that the future employment of photographers will be under pressure.

I'm interested in photography and I love it! The interest is the best teacher. According to the results of personality test and interest test("who am I" program), my personality and interest types are the composer and the designer. That means I have creativity for this job. While I have a 75% match with the photographer. That's the highest fit I've ever done on a career test.

For skills, I will learn computer science and physics at next semester and grade 12, I think these courses will improve my hard skills for photographer. I had club work experience such as communication, interpersonal skills, patient and time management for soft skills.
