You ski 40 days a year, you're a fucking weekend warrior. I used to live at the mountain. I've put up over 40 days consecutively before. I was averaging 90+ days for multiple seasons while working full time at the mountain and going to school when I wasn't at the mountain. And you can only put up 40 with no job?
How do you associate any of the jobs you listed with public health? I work M&A in healthcare. I don't have the physical stamina to be a rough neck or fisherman or the tobacco/amphetamine addiction.
I've stayed at all those casinos, they're all shit. Free drinks at some janky casino? Awesome! Enjoy plugging the South Lake and Reno girls, fucking trashy horse face swamp donkeys.
Denver/SLC suck to live in, I don't see the point to living there, even if you do have a good job. Plus dealing with 70 every weekend with the rest of the Front Range gapeshow would make me put a bullet in my head.
Look dude, there comes a point where working at the shop making $15/hour and drinking you're self retarded makes you feel dumber. Yes, you're skiing 6-7 days a week but life isn't that fulfilling if you aren't using your intellectual capacity and actually doing something beneficial to society. You're selling tickets for a profit, you're a net negative to society. But you're able to rationalize it because you're 'saving them money' over other scalping services.
