Estheticians - Where do you work, is work steady, etc?

I live in the Tampa, Florida area and am looking to become an esthetician or aesthetician. I cannot decide if I want to do medical or spa, and possibly both. No matter where in the country you work how is the business? Do you have steady work - do you make a decent living (pay the bills) with your career...? Was it a long time before you found your first job?
