I am moving to Florida in August, the Tampa area to be specific, and I am not quite sure how to approach breaking into the boating industry. I am currently a student at Westlawn, but I am only 1/2 way through the first module, and I will be a business student at University of South Florida. I have a number of options and trying to decide what to do has been making me crazy, so I figure I will ask for some outside advice. As you know going to school and working is hard enough as is and Westlawn to top it oof makes it difficult to focus on all three at the same time and still do well in all three. I figure I can do two full time and the other part time. Clearly I have to work to survive, but do i try and get a job in the boating industry and focus on my Westlawn studies or do I continue my job as a bartender and focus on real school? My dream is to be a yacht designer, but from what I understand I wont be able to afford a boat on that pay. Any suggestions? If I dedicate my self to yacht design, which I would like to do, am I setting ym self up for a life of poverty? What type of sallary does a designer get? Does the business side of the boating industry pay better then the design side?
Any help would be great. Thank you
