Strengths - I believe that I have a skill in some sort of layout design, I have great passion when it comes to designing things from scratch and have a lot of fun. That's what's important when designing work, you have to enjoy it, and that what I do.
Weaknesses - I already know that my weaknesses are based around my confidence in presentations, and obviously that needs to greatly improve for pitching in the future. Also the lack of knowledge in some programs will put me behind others till I finally get better at them.
Opportunities - Opportunities always will pop up, its rather the effort to do so than not getting the job anyway. I like the fact there's jobs everywhere for graphic design, so maybe one day I'll travel the world to fulfill my dream in my chosen career path.
Threats - Like above, there may be a point in my life where a job pops up that might be too far out of my comfort zone. Maybe an amazing job will be offered, but it may be abroad which I will have to sacrifice my current living situations and family etc.

Which Area's Within Graphic Design Am I Interested In?
Are there any job opportunities available?
I see my interested being involved with Layout and Websites in the near future. Although I'm not the greatest designer at the moment, I'll learn quickly from the many tutorials I have lined up for my free time. I want to do something especially with layout as its really fun to create something from scratch in Indesign and other programs, also the image manipulation side to it really excites me. This could also include things such as Typography, but not as much for the time being, but it might change obviously. Web design is the highest demanding graphic design role at the moment, so getting involved in that will be great once I have learned as much as I need to, because I believe I have the design skills, just not the knowledge of the program.
The thing I am also interested in, but at the moment completely useless at on terms of professionalism is 3D animation, so this includes Z-brush and Maya etc. Reasons for this are because most animated films you see today are all used with this type of technology and gaming is a massive inspiration for me, I just think for the moment its out of reach because I need to concentrate on other stuff. You can find these jobs if you're a talented concept artist/games designer, but it would be extremely hard without those skills.
