Now see , I don't say this just to play "point & counterpoint , but I believe drones used as a photo tool will increase in popularity in certain operations . Look at real estate listings , they used to need a manned heli to get their great looking overhead shots for the sales listing . Now , for a fraction of the cost , they are able to hire a drone photography contractor and have the same photos for pennies on the dollar compared to the old way . I can see commercial land surveying , guided by GPS , being a lucrative drone job of the future as well .
Of course , none of the above falls into the model aircraft classification , those above listed jobs are for drones ....
