New Camera???

So I've been thinking lately, "is photography something that I would wish to pursue a career in?" After some time of thought, I came to the conclusion that my love for photography would best fit in pursuing a career in that field. That being said, my need for a personal camera (as I am using my schools camera for my pictures), would be essential in chasing my career even further.

I did my research the other night (and I would have to thank @camerastoretv on YouTube for this), and found that possible the best fit with the best features would be a Nikon d7100. And yes, I am a Nikon type of person. What are your thoughts? Would you have any suggestions on what camera models you prefer? Or some that you may recommend? Feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.

I strongly feel like this is a career I wish to strive for, as I have a passion for it now. If anyone has any constructive criticism, please, let me know so that I may further my quality of photography.

Thanks for reading!
