Why become a model?

• The Reality of Modeling
• The different levels of Modeling
• What type of modeling is right for you?

The million-dollar paychecks. The closet full of designer clothing. Jet-sitting from Paris to New York to Jamaica. Flocks of men pursuing you. Your face on the cover of magazines. Fans from all over the world asking for your autograph. Dressing up and getting your hair and makeup done--and getting paid for it. Who wouldn't want to be a model?

But the truth is, this is the side of modeling you see only in the movies, on TV, and in magazines. Sure, for a very fortunate few supermodels--perhaps 10-20 women in the world at any one time--this is a true picture of a modeling career. But behind all the glitz and glamour is a completely different reality and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Although female models garner more attention than male models, they face many of the same obstacles.
