Any wisdom to share?

Hi, I hope this post is allowed here. My partner (redacting details about them for their privacy) is an incredibly talented sports photographer, and I don’t just say that because we are dating and I love them, they genuinely are very talented. They have an awesome portfolio, an excellent resume with 2 internships at pro-level sports teams, a minor team internship, university athletics photography experience for all 4 years, plus freelance with other major teams and organizations. They graduated university in 2025 with a degree in photography and are still struggling to find a job. They have been applying to everything, have been reaching out to connections, doing at least in my eyes, everything right. I find them to be personable, intelligent, and able to speak to their work and to process. But it’s crickets. As deflating it is for me to watch them struggle, i can’t even imagine how they feel. i guess i am just hoping someone out there has some advice for them, or can share their experience. Anything is appreciated, thank you!
