If you are looking for a long term career or to build your own business, think about entering one of the Industrial Sector trades.  In the next two decades, 40% of new jobs will be in the skilled trades and technologies. Provincially, the shortfall in unfilled jobs is estimated to be 50,000 by the year 2010. It makes sense to go where there is a shortage, a long term shortage.
