Portrait Studio Photography Lighting Techniques

Beginning a career in photography in Central Florida?
I’m an amateur photographer… right now it’s a hobby, but I’ve developed such an immense interest, I’m looking to make it my career. I’m particularly interested in pet photography, but I want to get a feel for most, if not all, types of photography (wedding, portaits, nature, sports, etc.) before making a decision.
I’m on a tight budget, so ideally, I’d like to find a studio that offers paid training so I can learn and still get paid for my work. I’ve contacted several Sears Portrait Studios with no response… any other suggestions or ideas for studios with paid training or individual photographers who would be willing to take on an assistant in the Central Florida area? Also, any advice in general? I’ve read up on SLR techniques, filters, lenses, lighting and pretty much any other basics I could find, but am pretty clueless right now about the business side of it (my goal is to start my own business).
If you are interested in learning studio photography, Sears is a good place. I have worked at a Sears Portrait Studio in PA for almost 2 years now and have learned a lot about studio photography. The training is good on the whole. However, they do not allow animals in the photos so you will not get any experience for your main interest. You will get a lot of experience with children.
