Replying to Mid-life crisis...at 19

Yea, I'm reconsidering my goals right now. I'm 19 years old and have 60 credits under my belt at the University of Tennessee on a Pre-Med/Dentistry/Pharmacy school track.

I'm doing alright in my classes and have a 3.2 GPA right now, got a 93% on my first Organic chemistry test this semester, but it's so tedious and I have very little/no interest in any of my classes. I don't think I want to go the proffessional school track anymore, just not what I want to do with my life. Fuck I'd have 6 more years of school to go through and waste my life. Yeah, the money would be nice for sure, but I don't know if sacrificing my life for $$ is a good idea. Hell, I don't even want to finish my four year degree. I'm on track for a Microbiology/Biochem major, but I have tons of bullshit labs and courses to take that I can't force myself to care about anymore.

I hate living in the southest. I can't stay here much longer. Only here now cause In-state school + scholarship = free college. There is pretty good climbing here (short, difficult routes), but the skiing is beyond horrendous, and I can only get out West to real snow like once a year.

Here is my problem: I severely want to move to Whistler, get a bar tending/ski instructing job or something, and eventually try and get in with ski patrol at the resort after a little experience in the area and I'm nice and overqualified. I honestly think I could do that forever and be content. I'm a skier/climber at the core of my being, and I would be in a place where I could pursue my interests to their fullest. I'd look into getting certified as a ski mountainerring/ alpine guide while I'm there, and eventually I could do guiding on the side of the patrol job. Maybe if I can prove myself to be a certified badass I could even get in on some heliski operation eventually (dream job).

Question: Does Whistler actually hire paid patrollers, and is there a 10 year wait list of qualified candidates to get in? Is that a good environment to work in? I know the job involves dealing with broken people that get pwned by the mountain, and I think I'd be well suited to deal with that kinda stress. Any thoughts?
