A while back I sold a 35mm camera to a random dude online. He asked me all sorts of newbie questions about how to use the thing. I replied to the best of my abilities and the transaction went through. We chatted a bit and it turns out the dude works as a photographer and is educated as one. Even has a portfolio online of mostly portraits on his studio's website. A bit into the conversation he told me that he was "tired of using his Sony on automatic mode and wanted a challenge".
It made me wonder how many photographers by profession chose that field of work as a last minute decision when choosing where to study and what exactly it is that they learn. Probably not much beyond composition and lighting would be my guess.
In the dudes defense it has to be said that he was a zoomer.
