Exactly, when I earn the qualifications and start working for another company, I'll always have work.
Always having work means that I'll be learning more and more.
I hope to start my own business up at the end of my training, when I think I'm ready.
Unfortunately, I'm just trying to graduate on time in May.

Doubly so here in Canada, electricians (like myself) can make 100k+ a year, substantially more if you do oilfield. Plus the obvious benefits of getting paid during your 4 year apprenticeship, instead of acquiring debt.

They're pretty highly paid where I come from 
I think it's on par with electrician.
Electricians, construction workers, and plumbers alike are all very well-paid in Oklahoma, USA, which is where I'm from.
I'm currently working towards a career either in Computer Science and Engineering or going full time with the military, since I'm already in it as a Reservist and go Combat Engineer.
I would really like to be a Web Designer / Graphic Designer. The more I look into it, I'm getting more nervous actually. It's hard to actually get a job being one, as most of it is freelance and you might not find a job for weeks!

That would be an interesting job. I would love to learn more on graphics and such like that, it would be a cool job.
Yeah, then again computer programmer or something of that sort would be REALLY cool as well. I love computers and hope my job includes them, but I don't know where to start if I want to get into Computer Programming.
Actually I have everthing strictly planned out because I have a goal set in mind - I will try to fulfill every dream I have inside me since I was a little girl. So it means working hard for your life and your passions, that is all you can do actually.
Well looks like you have your hands full. I wish you the best of luck with all your studies.
As for me I honestly didn't know what I wanted to do after high school.
I ended up working for a family restaurant business for about a year and a half as a waiter. It was pretty good money, but it's just not what I wanted to do and there was constant stress.
Anyways I ended up joining the armed forced and waiting for my ship date for the SEALs.
It's good to see people like you are set are ready to take life on.
