Cinematagraphy

Many people are trying to figure out what job is going to be. I want to be a cinematographer. The things I want to work on are action tv show and the occasional movies. Tv shows have long hours but I feel like you get to know everyone in the crew and cast better and create long time friends in the business.  My dream is to become a Director of Photography or DP.  I don't want to be a director because I don't think that I could see and imagine each scene the right way and do it justice. As DP I feel thing I can be able to view the best location for a camera to be and how and which direction it should move.
