Back to school

[mzvarner]

So i hav made up my mind, and im going to go back to school. i have doen about a year but needed to take a year off to try to figure out what i wamt to go for I still dont know what i want to go for, bu ti do know i cant stay were i am now. So what jobs are out there that mesh well with the climbing lifestyle.

 

thanks

It depends on what type of "climbing lifestyle" you're looking for. You say that you "can't stay where you are now," does that mean in Spokompton? or the perverbial I'm stuck in a rut? Spokan't isn't that bad of a place to be if you want to be climbing all the time, but it does mean some time on the road to get to destinations.

 

I'd ask myself some questions:

How much do I want to climb? a few days/week? weekends? every day?

Can I do an extended dirtbagging roadtrip?

what resources do I have? good car? savings? a partner?

 

i'd sort that stuff out first. Then save as much as you can, and take a roadtrip until the money runs out. Alternately, find a telecommuting gig and work on the road. Craiglist ads for "gigs" often have single days of work doing manual labor and can pay well enough to extend a roadtrip.
