Model agencies represent models in dealing with clients. An agency accepts assignments for a model, sends bills to clients, and collects money owed the model. The agency receives a percentage of the model's earnings as a commission. Successful models are registered with a licensed model agency.
Some models have taken courses from modeling schools. Most insurance sales agents, stockbrokers, and financial services sales representatives have a college education. Employers also prefer to hire wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives who have a college degree.
