Modeling during the school season
1. Is it worth to do modeling during the school season?
It is not a secret that girls usually start to model in a young age. Sometimes if the girl is ready she can start
modeling career even from 13 years old. It is the age you go to school, so should you waist your school years for
modeling? That is a very common question for both models and their parents.
There is no absolutely correct answer to the question above. School season is the best time to start, because you
will have much less competition than in summer when much more models are available to take place. Most of the

should consider starting modeling now. It will be easier to have a modeling break for exams later.
Sometimes people say - you may lose your school because of modeling and one day your career might be over.
This could be right if you model for a year and don't go to school at all, but the career would not change your
graduation if you have a month or two for modeling during the school season. Modeling is not a lifetime profession
