What You Need To Succed
As far as college courses there are many different routes you can take.
Cost of Education
It will cost around $416,248 to go through school there.
Personally this is what I think it will cost for everything else.
Housing for amount of time in college (most are for four years with summers off)= $24,000
Food/groceries for the amount of time I will be in college (most are 4 year degrees) = $10,000
Gas money for travelling/helping pay for carpooling during time at college (4 yrs.) = $4,000
Clothing money for time at college (typically 4 yrs.) = $800
Total tuition for total time at college (typically 4 yrs. with summers off)= $40,000
GRAND TOTAL COST OF GOING TO COLLEGE (housing, food, gas, clothing, and tuition)= $100,000
I do think I will need to apply for loans, financial aid, and/or scholarships. I also think I will need to at least get a part-time job to help with costs. I think this is a career I would want to pursue in the future.

Pros and Cons
Some of the cons are that there is somewhat of a repetitive nature in some of their work and they might have to travel a lot and some people don't like traveling.
