I'm an origami freak at the age of 4. Now I can even try experts' folding. I also can create my own origami. I want to know whether origami can be a career.

The number one origami artist in the US, Dr. Robert Lang, is a mathematics professor. He has retired and now he does origami full time, and the money comes from the books and lectures.

Remember it's illegal to sell other peoples' designs, so you would want to invent your own techniques and ideas before you could sell any.
My hair stylist makes a few hundred dollars a month teaching origami classes at the local adult ed, so there is certainly potential for a little bit of money there. The real income is when you invent new ideas and publish them in books.

You know you are already famous you just havent been dicoverd yet. If your four and you can do origami you can be the wrold youngest origami maker. You ever read the story Sadako and the thousand paper cranes it is a great story you should you read when you are a bit older but anyways it is about a girl who gets lukemia a type of disease and she tries to make a thousand paper cranes in order to make the gods grant her one wish to be cured. Now she is very famous in china and has a statue dedicated to her in china. So just keep on doing what you love and you will get what you want. you can make books, do some videos on how to make origami figures.
