The trick is "networking" and meeting people who would pay me to do it.
I have a hard enough time finding people to pay me to do anything.

Those "pros" all know people.

The saying, "it's not what you know, or how well you know it, it's WHO you know" applies to just about every skill & profession.

What I'm jealous of is people with social skills who can "network".

Also, LEGOs are quite expensive and to build anything that will get attention, requires a huge investment.
We're talking $10K-$20K worth of them, minimum.

Dude...that would be the best job ever! Sure, there would be some hard parts (as with every job), but it would still be super cool to be a Lego Certified Professional. I'm such an AFOL (aka Adult Fan of Lego).

They are being paid by someone to afford all those LEGOs. Like I said, LEGOs are not cheap.
