Hey what do you guys want to do? Right now, I want to be an ER doc and work somewhere where I can ski all the time. I just don't know if I want to spend so much of my life at school and in residency. It'd be sweet to only have to work 4 days a week though and have a ton of free time.

Do what I'm doing now. Maybe dabble in some small business, maybe start one. Build a skatepark in the town I grew up. Meet new people. See music, play music.


Not really changing too much maybe just switching up the ratios and how I approach different things.

Something tells me that if you are a doctor at a hospital, you're not going to get much time off to ski.

Be a Paramedic instead. You can become a Paramedic in a few years if you work hard.

This, especially not for the first few years of working at a new hospital. You will be raped by night shifts

I've wanted to be an anesthesiologist forever, but now I'm leaning more toward physical therapy.

This. But for me, I'm hoping to become a pharmacist. Probably make a decent amount of money and build a mini ramp in my backyard for me and my kids.

Find a related job with both where it doesn't feel like work. That would be a pretty badass existence. It's been years since I was any good on a bike and I never did mtn biking but I'm thinking of giving it a try this year to pass the summer away in style.

find a career that I can live off of, and enjoy while still skiing and mountain biking. I dunno though, i'm only 17. At some point I want to settle down and have a family and stuff, not any time soon though.

Use graphic design in the ski industry.

I want to shape a brand's identity from the ground up and give the industry something fresh.

Once I graduate I'll probably take a year off and get a job in a factory. Then it's off to trade school.

If by later in life you mean when I get home from work, yes.

Really though, I'd like to be able to spend some time each year volunteering or working on social justice projects in third world countries.

Yeah, from what I've researched thats what its like. Starting off, I would probably get stuck with a shit ton of night and weekend shifts, which also can be bad for long term health. That being said, it doesn't get much cooler than potentially saving peoples live at work, and being in charge of a department where you never know what will be wrong with the next patient who walks in the door would be challenging but rewarding.

The shifts might be irregular, but they only work 4 days a week, so it really doesn't matter too much. Also, its a job where you can live anywhere.
