Everybody and the dogs dog can do webdesign.
Unless you know some decent server side stuff (has been discussed on here before and I don't know much about it tbh) you won't be making much money from it.

About 2 years ago it was a very different story, you could make a mint for the crappest websites but things have developed quick and web design is alot more easier imo therefore your gonna have to deliver something fresh onto the scene to make yourself stand out

What do you mean by degree?
Proper uni's don't do degrees in things like webdesign so the above would still stand.

I think i may just be having second thoughts, ever since i got my car i have been wanting to do things to it. It's making me want to do a mechanics course or something along those lines

Be careful not to fall into that trap.
Web design is good, but like John said, everyones doing it, you need to find a niche in the market.

Yea i propably will keep going with web design. I guess i would like to do mechanics as a hobbie, if you know what i mean... Maybe do some night classes for something just too learn the basics
