That's the modeling business. Talk to anyone who's done it. Below the top 100 or so supermodels in the world, models make less than a mid-range programmer. Most modeling jobs aren't glamorous. There's trade show work, being a "booth bimbo". There's catalog modeling ("OK, next is item 25631, the blue sweater, and hurry it up, we have twenty more to shoot before lunch"). Mostly there's doing something else while waiting for the next gig. Ask any actress/model/waitress in LA. It's a really short career, too; at 25, you're over the hill.

Meh, maybe. My Mom makes some pretty good pocket money ($600 a day-ish) as a photogenic grandmother and general old lady doing catalogue and advert work for cruises, insurance, retirement homes, that kind of thing.
