Haven't posted in fucking forever but in desperate need of some advice from someone who'll be honest with me.
I got scouted on the street a week ago by a local agency that has been doing fairly well for itself. As a 23-year old with a good inch to lose on my hips, I am feeling pretty shocked they'd even approach me. I got in contact and they said they see a lot of potential, but obviously need me to lose the weight to get to 34" if I am serious about this.
Regardless of whether I'd be signed, it's a good kick up the ass to get in shape again and trim my hips down, because this is some serious confirmation I'm wasting my potential. Other than that, I'm feeling kind of conflicted about this offer because I would have never expected this to happen at my age, but they know and are fine with it. Secondly, due to my age, this is kind of interfering with the plans I'd loosely made concerning my future. I've been planning to get back in a 1-year MA programme, and am really unsure whether modelling and studying for an MA would be compatible at all? Should I even bother? I don't want to NOT do the MA, because it seems silly to take the jump, sign and then maybe not have any work whatsoever.
Perhaps these are all really dumb questions, and I'm probably overthinking all of this and probably the answers are obvious, but my friends are all like 'oMG thEy wAnT u tOo LoSe WeiGHt uR sO SkInNy aLReaADY!!' but obviously, this is how it works, so I just can't really talk about it with them. And I need to, because I don't want to get in something I can't commit to. I don't know the timelines on these things and need someone who can realistically tell me whether it'd be realistic to do my MA and sign with the agency too?
