Be realistic. Like acting and other careers in the entertainment industry, modeling is an extremely competitive business. It’s also based almost entirely on your physical appearance -- if you don’t have the right look, you aren’t going to be able to make a go of it. That means if you have your heart set on being a runway model and you’re only 5’2,” you may want to reconsider. You can’t count on becoming a supermodel either.Most models aren’t paid very much. In fact, the mean hourly wage for models in 2015 was only $17.91 an hour.
