Being an assistant?
If you are in a big city (London, NYC, LA, Chicago, etc.) then the pros have many to chose from, and will hire people who know the "lingo" used on a set. I.E raise my key half a stop and put a CTB on the background light.
If you want to LEARN photography, take a formal course. I offer one with a huge discount! You'll soon be hiring assistants.

"Every artist, was once an amateur"
I'd rather have one student succeed as a photographer with heart, than produce a hundred cookie cutter shooters. The world has plenty of those. You'll find their work in shopping malls all across our nation.
I have many who've graduated to human beings with a camera, and now know how to "see" not only with their cameras, but with their eyes and their hearts too. My teaching style is very different than my competitor's training.
Everyone has their own reason for wanting to be a good (or even a great) photographer. Don't let that pass you by. You can still strive to be another Mary Ellen-Mark, Julia Margeret-Cameron or Margaret Bourke-White.
We sometimes hit what we aim for, so aim high!

PS I see you already have good work on your website. Some are very nice.
