I will give you a reading.
I haven't yet read your reading that you did for yourself but i will address that here to when i get done with this. I didn't want to get confused by your cards when i'm reading my cards.
i am using RW deck. (R) means reversed cards. i did a 3 Card Spread for you. Past, Present and Future with three cards in each row.
The Past I drew The Queen of Wands, VIII of wands (R) and The Ace of Swords.
the Queen sits with a wooden staff in one hand and a sunflowers in the other. This is you looking for hard work and nature. What is in the future that you want? The VIII of Wands shows eight staffs flying through the air which one will stick in the ground when they come down. There are things you are thinking of and maybe wanting to try. what is it that you want out of yourself? The Ace of Swords in the last position of the Past row leading us in the Present row with a new beginning and what you are choosing to do now. Or at least taking a step toward what you want from the Past.
The Present is Page of Swords, IX of Pentacles(R) and Page of Pentacles(R) The Page of Swords, a young person, picks up the sword and new beginning will start. This is you just starting to decided what you want and willing to fight (or work) for it. IX of Pentacles shows a person well to do and money is the thought she is having. Is that all you want want, coins? Are you forgetting the sunflower of the Queen of Wands. The sunflower that the earth and sun gave us? The Page of Pentacles(R) yet another young person, is you in a new beginning of life trying to move out on your own (thoughts and ideals) forgetting the past thoughts and ideals. Now, remember this is your Present that is going to led you into the Future.
Page of Pentacles is walking us in to the Future. (3rd row of the spread getting us to the question you asked). The page is focused on the coin he is holding and wants to hold as he goes into the Future.
the Future row is the II of Swords, IX of Cups(R) and the III of Cups(R)
the future is blind to you as it is too her. she is blindfolded on a beach at night with a Waxing moon above, water behind and a beach ahead. She sees none of it. It's clear you do not know exactly what you want ahead of you or your conflicted by what you want but what you need (as we all need, the evil coin).

Because of the moon it is your subconscious starting off the future and not the conscious mind cannot see because of the blindfold. The IX of Cups(R) offers a lot of choices above your head (your thoughts and feelings). Will you sit there and let one of the cups spill over onto you head or will you stand up and pick a cup. The Cup cards represent a more spiritual path especially with the last card being the III of Cups(R). You really need to ask your self what do i want the coin or the spiritual? although i would suggest you ask, can i live with both of them and still have my soul intact at the end of the day. (your soul being the thing that puts your mind at ease when you sleep).

The last card is III of Cups. Once again a spiritual card with three woman holding up their cups in a circle. Usually this card is seen as a coven or group coming together on a spiritual path (be that christian, Buddhism, Wicca, etc etc).
You question for this reading was, "I'd like to know what would be the most successful career path for me?"
I can not answer your question directly for you nor can the Tarot
We use the Tarot to led us into the future and warn of pitfalls, directions, etc and are own minds and subconscious that we not see or clouded by them. I did the reading because i found it interesting to see what the cards will show me about the person asking ie YOU and maybe show you that your question isn't necessary wrong to ask (especially for a beginner) but to give a insight on WHY you ask what you asked and use the Tarot to show you that insight. The Tarot is made up of choices that WE make and how those choices will lead on the path we all are searching for. The Tarot can't tell you what you want but only lead you there and maybe how to get there.

basically, its all up to you start your own path and what you want, then use the Tarot to go into the future.
if you have any question please ask and i will answer the best i can.
now i will work on your spread and post it here in this thread because i am going to deal with an interpretation of you cards and not a general discussion on Tarot. Plus it will go along with my reading anyway!
