First thing first, thanks to everyone for your opinions they have helped me quite a bit actually and would just like to say that when i asked "is it worth it?" i wasn't talking about money and was talking about forefilment, a feeling that let you know what you have done is worth something, i feel that when i do metal smithing and wanted to know if this feeling was potentionally ruined by the uncertanty of it as a career. My question is now answered and i that you all for your help and opinion. i am 16 just so you know and am baseing my future on what you have told me so thanks because now i have reasonable idea of how my life will be like.Good from what i can tell, thanks again Chris.

Thank you i have thought about what u said and am going to become a metal smith but i will probally move to an area where their is work or maybe join the army they offer metal smithing training anyhow. Thanks again and i hope you have a good day.

I am considering getting trained as a metal smith but im wondering, is there really any real point? I enjoy making items out of any material but metal smithing attracted me because of the skill it requires and it's ability to tie in with real life uses but from looking around these forums i am left wondering if i be better off being a metal smith or just doing metal working as a hobbie? It seems that people have trouble keeping thier buissnesses viable and want to know if it's worth it.
