The best approach I find is to do some voluntary work for communities to get exposure and then participate in photo clubs.

There are people like that all over the place. The so called 'photographers' are using the FF gear because some customers (don't know a lot but only hear FF means pro) wants to hire them because they use Canikon FF gear. First, I would ask if they would provide you with the FF gear to shoot with, if they do, no problem. But if they ask you to get the FF gear before they can hire you. I would walk away immediately.
On the other side, I once have a friend whose daughter was getting married, so he went out to get a pro-photog and pay substantially because he wanted the photog who uses FF only. I was invited to the same wedding, so as a friend, I also took a significant number of photos during the ceremony. I had my photos shown to his friends and others and they were all pleased with the result I got; and they couldn't wait to see what he got from the hired photog (they expect even better results from him). Six months later, big disappointment, the photos came in, most of them could not even match mine; with many blurry and harsh flash photos. I didn't want to share my photos with him anymore since he wanted to get my originals and wanted to know how I took those nice pictures.
