    Going for SEO Career means you have a valuable skill which you can take any where in the world and will be in demand. However some companies incorrectly believe that SEO is purely using adwords and as such you will not learn about organic SEO, other SEO companies believe that having a large amount of traffic and building a webpage is SEO, then the purist will tell you that you should not consider Black hat. In reality an understanding on all parts and using those selectively will ensure greater succes. With your SEO career you need to ensure you get exposed to all aspects and not just focus on one technique. build you own website and try out new techniques to see if they work or not.

    With a solid grounding in SEO you can then tackle other areas such as website flipping, marketting your own products or going independant and optimising other website for people...

    SEO requires alot of patients, because results are not always immediate.

    SEO is good to take as a career. It a an experimental field where you will always learn something new because there is not a certain method on which you have to stick on and do as they are told. Its all about fun, do fun and learn.
    GOOD LUCK:D

    understanding SEO is a matter of trial and error to see what does and does not work, there are many gurus out there trying to sell you the next amazing ebook that will shed the supernova light on seo techniques such as "wild Seo" which does not have any new information. take your time, do it yourself and try one technique after another and after 12 mths you will begin to understand what is happening
