Hi Braden,
As one who was a model for a few years, I will try to give you an answer from my perspective.
First of all, I understand that someone lives for this call, and this is the biggest wish, but I was not that one. I wanted to try this and I am grateful that I had a chance, you can travel a lot (it depends on which agency you are part of, but there is some agency which will pay you for this traveling), you meet a lot of people, interesting people, artist and of course while you are traveling you have a chance to meet and see all the historical treasure that the country could offer (this is priceless).
In modeling, the thing is that you don't have one boss, you have something as an agent, who will be booked your castings, fittings, and all other meetings with potential coworkers.
Modeling is a rare job because there are some required qualifications that you need to have, and to get there sometimes you need to sacrifice your time and energy (some people are not ready for this).
And the thing that is not such a positive is that it is tough to be neutral for a long when you become part of this world, after a while, you start checking your weight on a daily basis and be obsessed with it (this is not positive from my perspective).
I hope that I answered some of the questions and that my experience will give you more perspective regarding being a model.
