Whoa, hey Presto - long time no see!
I think you might be thinking about it from the wrong angle, Wolfn; carnivorous plant cultivation in and of itself isn't really a work skill, except in our own tiny little niche. As someone going into college, you should be looking for broad fields that you're interested in. If you want to involve your CP hobby into your career, pick a field that will enhance your specialty skills with CPs, but don't count on the work being there. If you specialize too much, you paint yourself into a corner. Do something with biotech, or landscaping, or wetland ecology. Those are all industries with reliable work and plenty of entry-level opportunities. If you want to go tromp around Indonesia looking for Neps, do field biology. It's academic work and the pay isn't always great, but there are lots of trips to exotic locales.
Once you're the boss, you can start looking for ways to parlay your knowledge of CPs into business projects, but you'll be hard-pressed to find mentors that will share your interest throughout your entire education. Not to mention working your way up the business ladder.
Otherwise, the best advice I can give you is to build a portfolio; grow some really nice looking plants and arrangements, get professional photographs and get as much exposure as possible. You'd probably be on the edge of landscaping and interior design - I think the most common work you'd find would basically be building living flower arrangements for people. (Except bloodthirsty plants instead of flowers.) You're going to have to sell your butt off to find jobs that way, but you never know when you'll find a windfall.
