A variety of job styles available: run your own SEO company, contract work or work in-house.
Work from home.
Challenging, creative, rarely bored.
When running your own company you can often make your own hours and take time off when you want to.
Working from home or on contract you are basically your own boss.
When working on your own websites using SEO you may be self sufficient in terms of earning your own money with no client interface.
SEO industry is always changing with more to learn.

Bad Reasons for choosing an SEO Career:
Running your own business can be challenging.
Can be difficult to satisfy clients when running your own company.
Working with corporate businesses or within a corporation you may deal with numerous people in order to achieve your goal, it can be a longer process.
Working in-house you may not get paid what you think you are worth.
Clients can leave you in the lurch for payment unless you require a deposit.
Contract work can be available here and there, often pays less depending on the size of the company paying for contract work.
Running your own company means paying self-employment taxes and buying your own health care and it is more difficult to find time to take vacation time.
In-house jobs may require multiple skills (SEO, programming, analytics, management, etc.) and may limit the jobs you are qualified for.
Need a BA degree or better to qualify for many in-house jobs and may need to relocate for job.

There are no doubt many more but these are the first reasons I thought of.

Thanks for sharing this information, this will sure help me.
