what sort of life are models leading? is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man? a few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. but the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. theyd like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. this is true for those who are very successful. however, most models find it difficult to get work. very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. besides, they have to buy good clothing. they also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done. interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. a top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. but for most models, the situation is quite different. and agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. for all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to
