What would you do in my situation? I'm not -amazing- but I'm pretty good, very consistent and super reliable. Should I try to find a partner or something, or are there companies or organizations that would hire me?

(or is the dirty secret that there really isnt good money in photography anymore unless youre the upper 0.01% elite)
