Well, if you're not a wildlife or bird photographer, then maybe, but it's hard enough to catalog the good images. With birds and animals, I'll take 1,000 and process 10 to 30 and keep maybe five of those.

My rule is, be ruthless at grading your own images, do it only once and shit-can the rest immediately. You'll never have time to go back through and discover a "hidden gem" if you're always busy trying to take better pix.
I have clients that sometimes ask me to look through my stuff again for something specific. I always have my raws on hand for that reason. Hdds are stable, bigz and cheap now. It also helps that I write them off as business expenses
