A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Anybody whose been in this industry and have experience making money from photography, is it worth pursuing? How's the money? would you say it's enough to sustain financial independence and is there any hope to go further and even think of a above normal life? From a business standpoint is there any potential or is it oversaturated?

Anybody who’s been in this industry and have experience making money from photography, is it worth pursuing?

If you have any marketable skills, self employment is always worth pursuing. Photography is a marketable skill.

How's the money?

Pay ranges from $20,000 to $200,000 - mostly dependent on you.

would you say it's enough to sustain financial independence and is there any hope to go further and even think of a above normal life?

Yes, if you have the skill set to get you there.

From a business standpoint is there any potential or is it oversaturated?

Is what oversaturated? Pet photography? Real estate photography? $500 weddings? $5000 weddings? Those are all very different things that require different skills on your part and target very different clients.
