next year I'm going to EVIT(just a trade school, 1-2 year courses where you get certified in a trade for practically free, and i get highschool credits :)) but im not sure which ones i should focused on, so im asking for some advice :)
my choices are:
electronics, like wiring, breadboards, circuits, communications and stuff like that. the next year i can either go into pre engineering or robotics
construction specializing, where the first year you graze the a few stuff like masonry, dry walling, carpentry, a few electronics like AC and wiring, and stuff, the next year you specialize in what ever one you want(im liking the AC)
next theres welding, wich is basic ARC, OXY, TIG and MIG(i think :p) with popular metals, silver, steel, aluminum, ect.
also, i can do event marketing which i am also leaning to, since im sort of into marketing, and currently in DECA and Marketing/Retail at my school.
just a reminder, if i pass, i get certified in which ever course i take :)

Well, if you want to. Sex toys inventor?
Robotics, construction, creativity, marketing, and "enjoyment" all in one :).

Hardly any jobs in robotics, so I don't recommend that path. It's cool, but it's better to have something that will get you a job, or at least a relatively cheap hobby.

Electronics is a fast growing industry, but if you want to go for robotics and get a decent job you'll have to be awesome :rolleyes: Studying physics in University would help a lot if you plan going for robot engineering.

Atm construction is not a very stable business, but will be up again in ~5 years. 10 years from now you'd sure have a well payed job, but construction is very sensitive to "market fluctuation" if that's a real word. :p

Dunno about your country but in Finland metal industry is very profitable.

If you're most interested in marketing then this is the only option :rolleyes:
Remember that if you don't educate yourself enough you might end up being a cashier at some supermarket.

If you do the construction, you'll learn some skills that will benefit you the rest of your life, no matter what your career ends up being.
If you do the others, they might become a hobby but are more likely not to be of much use to you if you choose to do something else as a career.
Car mechanics would be another one of general usefulness…

thanks guys :)
