Assisting as a long-term career?

I've only been assisting for two weeks now so I'm very very new, but I've been trying to find a career path for so long and I feel like this is something I actually enjoy and could do long-term. How viable do you feel assisting is as a career? For those of you who have been in the field for a while, would you recommend it? Any other advice is welcome! Thanks ❤️
