What are careers in the equine industry and what are the salaries to go with those careers

please i really need to know!

Jobs involving horses usually go hand in hand with poor pay, long hours, and lots of physical work, not to mention danger. With that being said, it is sometimes better to go into a field that doesn't necesarilly have to do with horses. For example, if you are good with math and design, you could become an architect. You could specialize in outbuildings (such as garages, barns, sheds, etc) instead of just equine buildings. So technically you are working in the equine field, but you have a reliable, concrete job. If you were planning to be a jockey, which by the way is not good pay, if you were bucked off a horse and broke a leg, you would have nothing to fall back on. What happens when you are too old to ride?

So you have to look at jobs from all angles. OK, sorry about that rant, just wanted to make sure you understood all that.
