Hi all, OrigamiUSA's online magazine, The Fold, contains both members-only and open-access content. I recently wrote an article for the current issue on "Careers in Origami," which is open-access, meaning that you don't need to be a member of OrigamiUSA to read it. It's here:
https://origamiusa.org/thefold/issue/22 Now, this is very much based on my own experiences as a full-time professional in this art (now in my 13th year), and there are many other professional origami artists out there (several of whom have been at it for considerably longer than me). So it's not by any means a comprehensive treatise, more of a "here's some useful information". If you are a professional (or semi-professional) origami artist, I'd love to see your experiences and/or tips and/or advice in the comments section (at the end of the article). Enjoy! Robert P.S. And if any of the members-only articles tempt you, I should mention that Online Membership is available to anyone, is only US$30, and gives full access to The Fold (as well as a PDF version of the print magazine as it comes out). Details on that are here: https://origamiusa.org/joinus
