There are commercial models, catalog models, plus size models, parts models and much more. However, all models have something in common: they all live stimulating lives. While many believe that being famous or being on the cover of top-rated magazines will make you happy and feel fulfilled, living that lifestyle can create the feeling of having no privacy. However, there are many advantages to working as a model. For example, if you work as a runway model, it is not uncommon to have a salary of five hundred dollars an hour. Such a high salary is mostly only given if it is a very big name show. Catalog models can receive one hundred to two hundred dollars or more.
