I spent a summer in Durango, CO as a kayaking guide. It was crap money and I slept on a mattress on the floor, shared a filthy bathroom with 2 other guys but I loved kayaking so I thought it would be cool.
There were trips I spent chasing fat ladies down the river because they were inverted weeble-wobbles when inside a kayak in the water, and on the rapids, good lord. These people should have been in much wider flotation devices but at the end of the day it was fun and we were a tight group who enjoyed working together and were genuine friends.
That's what I miss about the job. I find people uptight and rigid in cooperate American. Don't get me wrong, the money is a lot better but it would be nice to find a happy medium. Or better yet, such a great job at 6 figures.
