Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Who does?
The potential professional of course.

Seriously Jeff I wouldn't know.
Some are already professional, some are semi professional, some keen amateurs who maybe sell the odd photo, some are beginners, but then again some never post a thing so how can we say?

I would think that business acumen, networking and getting "well known" in the relevant market will be just as important as the images.
Ultimately you would be self employed- a big gamble regardless of how good the images are.
I think there are more photographers out there who can produce "professional" quality images than there is demand for such images.
I say fair play to the guys who craft a living from photography, it cant be easy- but I would love to change places with them

The need to produce the perfect picture in a limited time would do my head in.

Those who make a living at it, really make a living at, it have my utmost respect.

I dont think the images professional photographers produce are always perfect. They just need to be good enough for the client to pay you.
There are some fairly poor wedding photographers out there that make a living after all.
Ultimately I would really like to get paid to take photographs- I do it for free and for my own pleasure so to get paid would be amazing. Never gonna happen!
