Ski industry work

My recommendation is take a look at the threads in this section about what jobs are available, then go to college (preferably in a ski industry heavy city like Salt Lake City, UT, Boulder, CO, Portland, OR or Burlington, VT) and major in the thing that most appeals to you on that list of jobs (graphic designer, business manager, or anything "shop"). While at school look for internship opportunities with ski companies or resorts and make connections. Once you graduate you can use those connections to get a job in the industry.

Your other option is to find a ski resort or a shop that is hiring and try and work your way up the ladder...but be warned, these will be the lowest paying jobs, they're mostly seasonal, and it's quite difficult to work your way up to something higher paying without tremendous amounts of work and/or skill. Seriously...going to school is the best way to go.

Also, are you really sure you want a job in the industry? Just because you work for a ski company or in the ski industry doesn't mean you'll be able to ski more (it actually usually means you'll ski less than if you had a job outside of the industry).

I am really just at that stressing stage of what I'm going to do after I graduate and I really love skiing and the ski community so I thought that would be a good place to maybe start.

I'm really just at that stressing stage right now where I don't know what I'm going to do after I graduate and the ski industry seems like a good start. But the lack of actually skiing would be an issue for me haha

Coming from someone who didn't go to college right after High School, I highly recommend going to school. Worst case scenario, it gives your 4+ more years to figure out what the fuck you're going to do with your life. It's already hard enough to get a job in this industry, not having a college degree or at least going after one only makes it harder.

Do you like photography?, filming/editing?, graphic design?, or building things with your hands? These are things that you can pursue at school that can lead to at least somewhat descent jobs both in and out of the ski industry.

I will keep that in mind. Thanks a lot for the help.
