Career options as far as herbalism goes ... What are they? Thanks:)

So i have great news!!! I've finally found the one thing i'm good at... and now the bad news i dont know what to do next. I love herbs and aromatherapy. I can remember herbal stuff better than anything else ive ever tried because i care about it. Now i could google this but was just wondering if anyone had any personal experience they would like to share about how to make a career out of a passion for herbalism and possibly aromatherapy. Ive come to a point where i might have the money to invest in this sort of study soon and need help!! Any and all responses are deeply appreciated and also i hope everyone here on this site has a great day and is blessed. Your two cents: always welcome:) Thanks !

I tried to cut and paste so this would help with what i find , but the print is so small that being sight impaired , i think taking classes on the net, would be such a hard thing to do. That and i do not really know how to cut and paste, but i tried:) Thanks for everyone to try to help. Lets see where this goes if noone minds. Have a great day.; ▶ Reply to This

Many schools, even the ones that offer online courses, have options specifically designed for the sight impaired.

You'd make a great herbalist and professionally, yeah, you'd rock.; ▶ Reply to This
