&lt;p&gt;The majority of my columns to date have been devoted to talking about what the business is about in the "upper echelon" of the plus modeling industry (i.e. the "signed" model) but few people ever talk about how to make your career work from a local/regional standpoint or "The Underground" as I like to call it.  Let's face it, the vast majority of aspiring models won't make it beyond the local level and that can be because of a number of factors.  The reality of the business is that maybe 25% of aspiring models will reach that brass ring that's known as "the signed model".  The other 75% will either quit or remain working at a local level.&lt;/p&gt;
