The modeling business can be broadly classified into a). ramp modeling, b). television modeling and c). print modeling, but more often than not, these areas overlap and most models do it all. To make it in modeling, what you need, besides the very necessary physical attributes, is a large network of contacts to get your first break. Once that happens, excellent communication skills are required to keep the network growing.
Apart from that, you also need to have a tough-as-nails attitude, a never-say-die spirit (because the struggle might be long and hard), and supreme confidence in your own self.
